Question : 5 of 25
Marks: +1, -0
An alkene A on ozonolysis gives a mixture of ethanal and pentan-3- one. Write the structure and IUPAC name of A.
Solution:  
(A)
Alkene

Pentan - 3 - one
An alkene when subjected to ozonolysis, cleaves at the double bond and gives rise to carbonyl compounds.
Since, the given compounds here are ethanal and pentan-3-one, the alkene can be predicted to be:
H3C−HC=O+O=
CH3
