Ozonolysis of an unknown alkane gave propanone and methanol as final products, the unknown alkene is most likely ____________
Explanation
Methanal \(\Rightarrow H - C - H\)
To get the alkene whose ozonolysis will produce propanone and methanol, the simplest way is to get rid of the oxygen atoms in their structures as shown, join the two double bonds and name accordingly.y so doing, we will have
The structure above is 2-methylpropene. Thus, it is the ozonolysis of 2-methylpropene that produces propanone and methanol
