13.6 An alkene ‘A’ contains three C – C, eight C – H bonds and one C – C bond. ‘A’ on ozonolysis gives two moles of an aldehyde of molar mass 44 u. Write IUPAC name of ‘A’.
As per given data, compound A on ozonolysis give two moles of aldehyde, having molar mass 44u. It indicates that the compound has an identical structure around (both sides) a double bond. So, the possible general structure of
A =
There are eight sigma bonds, it means eight Hydrogen atoms in the structure A. Also, three bonds, it indicates the presence of four Carbon atom in A.
Now, by combining all the observation, the structure of the A would be-
Ozonolysis reaction is shown below-
The atomic mass of ethanal is 44 u.
