AIIMS 2017 Chemistry Ozonolysis MCQ Question
on ozonolysis gives. The structure of product is shown below:
None of these
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Ozonolysis of methylenecyclopentane results in the cleavage of the double bond, leading to the formation of cyclopentanone (C₅H₈O) as the primary product. This reaction involves the formation of a cyclic ozonide intermediate, which subsequently rearranges and hydrolyzes to yield the ketone. Other options are not applicable as they do not represent the correct structure of cyclopentanone or the products formed from the ozonolysis of methylenecyclopentane. Understanding ozonolysis helps illustrate how alkenes can be transformed into carbonyl compounds through oxidative cleavage.
