Ozonolysis of an alkene leads to the formation of an aldehyde and an isomeric ketone having melecular formula, `C_3H_6O`. Identify the alkene.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The aldehyde and the ketone having molecular formula, `C_3H_6O` are `CH_3CH_2CHO and CH_3COCH_3` respectively.
Therefore, the starting alkene is 2-methylpent -2-ene.
`(CH_3)_2C=O+O=CHCH_2CH_3to(CH_3)_2=CHCH_2CH_3`
