The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction of propyne with ozone followed by zinc hydrolysis to determine the number of carbonyl carbons in the product X. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure of Propyne**: Propyne is an alkyne with the formula \( \text{C}_3\text{H}_4 \). Its structure can be represented as: \[ \text{CH}_3-\text{C} \equiv \text{C} \] 2. **Ozonolysis Reaction**: When propyne undergoes ozonolysis, it reacts with ozone (\( \text{O}_3 \)) in a solvent like dichloromethane (\( \text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2 \)). The triple bond breaks, and an ozonide is formed. The ozonide structure can be represented as: \[ \text{CH}_3-\text{C}(\text{O})-\text{C}(\text{O})-\text{H} \] This structure contains a carbonyl (C=O) group. 3. **Zinc Hydrolysis**: The ozonide is then treated with zinc in the presence of water (\( \text{Zn/H}_2\text{O} \)). During this step, the ozonide will be hydrolyzed, resulting in the cleavage of the ozonide and the formation of carbonyl compounds. The reaction leads to: \[ \text{CH}_3-\text{C}(\text{O})-\text{H} + \text{H}_2\text{C}=\text{O} \] This results in two products: acetone and formaldehyde. 4. **Counting Carbonyl Carbons**: In the final product X, we have: - One carbonyl carbon from acetone (\( \text{CH}_3-\text{C}(\text{O})-\text{CH}_3 \)) - One carbonyl carbon from formaldehyde (\( \text{H}_2\text{C}=\text{O} \)) Therefore, the total number of carbonyl carbons in product X is: \[ 2 \] ### Final Answer: The number of carbonyl carbons in the product X is **2**. ---
