Reductive ozonolysis of which alkene gives propanone as the only organic product?

  1. A2-methylbut-2-ene
  2. B2-methylpropene
  3. C2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene
  4. D2,3-dimethylbut-1-ene

Answer: C

has two identical ends, so cleavage gives two molecules of . 2-Methylbut-2-ene gives propanone plus ethanal, 2-methylpropene gives propanone plus methanal, and 2,3-dimethylbut-1-ene gives propanone plus a different ketone.
