3-Ethyl-2-Pentene on ozonolysts gives:
Correct answer: A. 2-Pentanone
- A. 2-Pentanone
- B. pentanol
- C. 3-Pentanone and Ethanal
- D. 7-Heptanone
Explanation
When 3-Ethyl-2-Pentene undergoes ozonolysis, it reacts with ozone (O3) to form two pentanone molecules. This reaction involves the breaking of the carbon-carbon double bond in 3-Ethyl-2-Pentene and the addition of oxygen atoms from ozone to the resulting carbons. This leads to the formation of two pentanone molecules, which are ketones with five carbon atoms.

About Alkenes
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon double bond with sigma and pi components and restricted rotation. Their reactions include electrophilic addition of hydrogen, halogens, hydrogen halides and water, with Markovnikov orientation, oxidation, combustion and polymerisation, while their preparation commonly involves elimination from alkyl halides or alcohols.
