An alkene "X" on ozonolysis gives CH3CH2COCH3 and CH3CHO. The IUPAC name of X is?
An alkene "X" on ozonolysis gives CH3CH2COCH3 and CH3CHO. The IUPAC name of X is?
Explanation
Ozonolysis splits the double bond and gives:
- CH₃CH₂COCH₃ (Butan-2-one)
- CH₃CHO (Acetaldehyde)
These products match the cleavage of 3-methyl-2-pentene at the double bond.
