2-methyl propene is isomeric with butene-1. They can be distinguished by:

Correct answer: D. O3, Zn / H2O

  • A. Baeyer's reagent
  • B. Ammonical AgNO3
  • C. Br2 solution
  • D. O3, Zn / H2O

Explanation

Ozonolysis of these will give different products which can differentiate between but-1-ene and 2-methyl propene. Baeyers reagent and bromine solution are tests for unsaturation, and 2-methyl propene and butene are both unsaturated. Ammonical AgNO3 forms white precipitate with aldehydes and terminal alkynes; neither of which are present here.
