An alkene A undergoes ozonolysis to give ethanal and methanal as the major products, identify A and write its IUPAC name. [2]
2Answer
The alkene A undergoes ozonolysis to yield ethanal (CH₃CHO) and methanal (HCHO) as major products. Ozonolysis cleaves the double bond, forming carbonyl compounds from each carbon of the original alkene.
The products indicate that A must have had the following structure:
- One carbon of the double bond was bonded to a CH₃ group (from ethanal).
- The other carbon was bonded to a H atom (from methanal).
Thus, A is propene (CH₃–CH=CH₂). Its IUPAC name is prop-1-ene.
