Which of the following alkenes give only one organic product on ozonolysis followed by ?

  1. Abut-2-ene
  2. B2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene
  3. Chex-3-ene
  4. D2-methylbut-2-ene

Answer: A, B, C

A symmetrical alkene gives two identical carbonyl molecules. Hex-3-ene gives , 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene gives and but-2-ene gives . 2-Methylbut-2-ene is unsymmetrical and gives both ethanal and propanone.
