Of the following compounds, whose ozonolysis proves the Kekule structure of benzene?

A

a.Benzene

B

b.Toluene

C

c.o-Xylene

D

d.p-Xylene

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
o-Xylene on ozonolysis gives glyoxal: methylglyoxal: dimethyl glyoxal in the ratio `3:2:1`, which proves the existance of resonance in benzene and hence proves the Kekule structure of benzene. So the answer is `(c )`.
