A compound X ( $C X_{6} H X_{10}$ ) is subjected to ozonolysis followed by $Zn / H X_{2} O$ and gives a single product, $OHC (CH X_{2}) X_{4} CHO$ . X is

Ring opening at the

C = C

of a cycloalkene gives a dialdehyde in which the carbons of the ring are all retained. Cyclohexene gives hexanedial,

OHC (CH X_{2}) X_{4} CHO

. 1-Methylcyclopentene would give 5-oxohexanal and the diene would give a mixture containing ethanedial and butanedial.
