JEE Advanced levelNumerical answerDifficulty 3 of 3hc051

All acyclic structural isomers of that contain one bond (geometrical isomers counted once, i.e. constitutional isomers only) are ozonised and worked up with . How many different carbonyl compounds are obtained in total? Give an integer.

Numerical answer type, tolerance 0.5.

Answer: 7

The five constitutional isomers and their products are: pent-1-ene (methanal, butanal), pent-2-ene (ethanal, propanal), 2-methylbut-1-ene (methanal, butanone), 3-methylbut-1-ene (methanal, 2-methylpropanal), 2-methylbut-2-ene (propanone, ethanal). The distinct compounds are methanal, ethanal, propanal, butanal, propanone, butanone and 2-methylpropanal, a total of 7.
