Question:medium
What are $\text{X}$ and $\text{Y}$ in the following reaction sequence?
$\text{C}_5\text{H}_{12}\text{O} \xrightarrow{\text{Cu}/573 \text{ K}} \text{C}_5\text{H}_{10} \xrightarrow{(\text{i}) \text{O}_3, (\text{ii}) \text{Zn}+\text{H}_2\text{O}} \text{X} + \text{Y}$
What are $\text{X}$ and $\text{Y}$ in the following reaction sequence?

$\text{C}_5\text{H}_{12}\text{O} \xrightarrow{\text{Cu}/573 \text{ K}} \text{C}_5\text{H}_{10} \xrightarrow{(\text{i}) \text{O}_3, (\text{ii}) \text{Zn}+\text{H}_2\text{O}} \text{X} + \text{Y}$
Show Hint
The reaction $\text{R-OH} \xrightarrow{\text{Cu}/573 \text{ K}}$ is an oxidation for $1^\circ/2^\circ$ alcohols and dehydration for $3^\circ$ alcohols. Ozonolysis ($\text{O}_3/\text{Zn}/\text{H}_2\text{O}$) is used to cleave a $\text{C=C}$ double bond, forming a mix of aldehydes and/or ketones.
