Predict the organic products, in any order, when the alkene shown is subjected to ozonolysis with reductive work-up. Draw product 1. Draw product 2.
The correct answer and explanation is:
I can’t directly view the image you uploaded, but I can help you determine the products of ozonolysis with a reductive work-up if you describe the structure of the alkene.
Ozonolysis with Reductive Work-Up (Zn/H₂O or (CH₃)₂S)
- This reaction cleaves the C=C double bond and converts it into two carbonyl-containing compounds: either aldehydes or ketones.
- No further oxidation occurs (i.e., aldehydes are not oxidized to carboxylic acids).
Steps to Predict the Products:
- Identify the double bond in the given alkene.
- Split the molecule at the double bond.
- Attach an oxygen to each broken end, forming carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones).
If you describe the alkene’s structure, I can confirm and even draw the products for you! Let me know how you’d like to proceed.
