Chapter 2: Problem 72

When \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\) is treated with ozone by reductive ozonolysis procedure the product(s) obtained is/are (a) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}\) (b) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COCO} \mathrm{CH}_{3}\) (c) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}\) (d) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: CH3CHO

Step by step solution

01

Draw the structure of the given alkene

The given molecule is \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\), which is but-2-ene. Its structure can be represented as: ``` H3C CH3 | | C = C ```
02

Understand the process of reductive ozonolysis

In reductive ozonolysis, ozone is used to cleave the carbon-carbon double bond. The resulting cleaved carbons will each gain a double bond with an oxygen atom. So, in our case, after ozonolysis, we will have two separate molecules formed from the carbons of the original alkene.
03

Predict the products of the reaction

When the given alkene undergoes ozonolysis, the products formed will be as follows: ``` H3C CH3 | | C = O O = C ``` The products can now be rewritten as: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\mathrm{CHO}\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\mathrm{CHO}\).
04

Identify the correct answer among the given options

The product that matches the obtained products from the reaction is (c) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\mathrm{CHO}\). Both of the molecules formed in the reaction are the same compound, so only one unique product is obtained in this case.
