Which alkene gives propanone as the only organic product on reductive ozonolysis?
A2-methylpropene
B2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene
C2-methylpent-2-ene
D2-methylbut-2-ene
Answer: B
(CHX3)X2C=C(CHX3)X2 is symmetrical and both ends become (CHX3)X2C=O. 2-Methylpent-2-ene gives propanone and propanal, 2-methylbut-2-ene gives propanone and ethanal, and 2-methylpropene gives propanone and methanal.
