Question

Alkenes cleave in the presence of ozone followed by reduction to give
Options
A Carboxylic acids
B Carbonyl compounds
Correct Answer
C Alcohols
D Alkanes
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Ozonolysis of alkenes with reductive workup (e.g., Zn/H₂O) cleaves the double bond to yield carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones). Oxidative workup gives carboxylic acids.

Hint

Reductive ozonolysis preserves the carbonyl oxidation state from the alkene carbons.
