    Which of the following compounds yields acetone on ozonolysis followed by hydrolysis?

    A)  2-methyl-2-butene

    B)  3-methyl-1-butene

    C)  Cyclopentane

    D)  2-methyl-1-butene

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     During ozonolysis,\[C=C\]bond breaks and each double bonded carbon atom is oxidized. \[\underset{2-methyl-2butene}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow{Zn/{{H}_{2}}O}\underset{ethanal}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-CHO}}\,\]                                                         \[\underset{acetone}{\mathop{+{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}C}}\,=O\]  \[\underset{3-methyl-1-butene}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-CH=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[Zn/{{H}_{2}}O]{{{O}_{3}}}\]                         \[\underset{2-methyl\,propanal}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}C-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-CHO}}\,+\underset{\begin{align}   &  \\  &  \\  &  \\  & methanal \\ \end{align}}{\mathop{HCHO}}\,\]  Cyclopentane does not react with ozone.  \[\underset{2-methyl-1-butene}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[Zn/{{H}_{2}}O]{{{O}_{3}}}\]       \[\underset{butene-2-one}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  {{H}_{3}}C \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,=O+}}\,\underset{\begin{align}   &  \\  &  \\  &  \\  & mehanal \\ \end{align}}{\mathop{HCHO}}\,\] Hence, only 2-methyl-2-butene on ozonolysis gives acetone.
