The alkene shown undergoes ozonolysis followed by $Zn$ / $H X_{2} O$ . Besides methanal, which structure is formed?

AStructure A
BStructure B
CStructure C
DStructure D

Answer: D

The compound shown is propene. The terminal

CH X_{2}

becomes methanal and the

CH X_{3} CH

carbon becomes the aldehyde ethanal. Under reductive work-up the aldehyde is not oxidised, so ethanoic acid is not formed; propanal and propanone have the wrong carbon count or skeleton.
