Chapter 8.12, Problem 20P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Theproduct formed by ozonolysis of $\text{1-Methylcyclopentene}$ having molecular formula ${\text{(C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\text{)}$ is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

>

The oxidation of alkene with ozone forming two carbonyl compounds is called ozonolysis.

>

The cycloalkane, on ozonolysis, yieldsa single product with two carbonyl groups.

>

The two carbonyl groups form at the double bonded carbon of alkene by breaking the carbon-carbon double bond.
