The product formed when a hydrocarbon 'X' of molecular formula C6H10 is reacted with sodamide is subjected to ozonolysis, followed by hydrolysis with Zn/H2O2, and upon further oxidation gave two carboxylic acids, of which one is optically active. The hydrocarbon 'X'' is

  1. A Hex-1-yne
  2. B Hex-3-yne
  3. C 3Methylpent1yne
  4. D 3,3Dimethylbut-1yne
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3Methylpent1yne

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The molecule is reacting with sodamide, therefore, it should be terminal alkyne. Now, this alkyne is subjected ozonolysis followed by oxidation giving two carboxylic acids in which one carboxylic acid is optically active among them. Hence, the alkyne should…
