Ozonolysis of 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene followed by reduction with zinc and water gives

Options

A. methanoic acid and 3-methyl-2- butanone
B. methanal and 2-methyl-2-butanone
C. methanal and 3-methyl-2-butanone
D. methanoic acid and 2-methyl-2-butanone

Answer

C

Explanation

`CH_(3)-underset("2, 3-dimethyl-1-butene")(underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C))-CH_(2)overset((i)O_(3) (ii)Zn//H_(2)O)rarr`
`CH_(3)-underset("3-methyl-2-butanone")(underset(CH_(2))underset(|)(CH)-underset(CH_(2))underset(|)(C))=O+H-underset("Methanal")(underset(H)underset(|)(C))=O`
