Which statement about the oxidation-reduction reactions of organic compounds is not correct? * a) Ozonolysis is an oxidation reaction. b) Hydrogenation is a reduction reaction. c) Hydrogenation is a selective reaction because the alkene group can be selectively reduced in the presences of various other functional groups. d) Oxidation of alkenes with potassium permanganate in acid medium is similar to ozonolysis in that it cleaves both bonds in the double bond. e) All of these statements are correct.
