Question

What is the result of ozonolysis of propene?

• A. Formation of acetone and formaldehyde
• B. Formation of acetic acid
• C. Formation of methanol and ethanol
• D. Formation of two aldehydes or ketones

Hint:

Ozonolysis cleaves double bonds and forms carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Ozonolysis of propene yields two carbonyl compounds, typically aldehydes or ketones. A magnetic moment (\( \mu = 1.73 \, \text{BM} \)) observed after ozonolysis signifies the presence of unpaired electrons, characteristic of paramagnetic substances.The relationship between magnetic moment and unpaired electrons is given by:\[\mu = \sqrt{n(n + 2)} \, \text{BM},\]where \( n \) denotes the number of unpaired electrons. A magnetic moment of \( 1.73 \, \text{BM} \) implies one unpaired electron, confirming paramagnetism.
