A compound with molecular formula \(\text{C}_5\text{H}_{10}\) that gives acetone on ozonolysis is:
- A 3-methyl-1-butene
- B 2-methyl-2-butene
- C 2-methyl-1-butene
- D Cyclopentane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 2-methyl-2-butene
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Ozonolysis of an alkene cleaves the \(\text{C}=\text{C}\) double bond to form carbonyl compounds. Since one of the products is acetone, \(\text{CH}_3\text{COCH}_3\), the original alkene must contain a \((\text{CH}_3)_2\text{C}=\) group. The molecular formula of the compound is…
