The reduction of ozonides produces

Correct answer: A. Carbonyl compounds

  • A. Carbonyl compounds
  • B. Alkynes
  • C. Alkanes
  • D. Alkyl compound

Explanation

The reduction of ozonides, which are formed from the ozonolysis of alkenes, produces carbonyl compounds. During ozonolysis, the alkene double bond is cleaved to form ozonides, which can then be reduced to produce carbonyl compounds. Alkynes, alkanes, and alkyl compounds are not the primary products of this reaction and are incorrect choices.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
