One mole of a symmetrical alkene on ozonolysis gives two moles of an aldehyde having a molecular mass of 44 u . The alkene is
ethene
propene
1-butene
2-butene
As we learnt in
Ozonolysis -
Ozonolysis of alkenes involved the addition of ozone molecules to alkene to form ozonide and then cleavage of the ozonide by Zn - H2O to smalter molecules.This reaction is highly useful in detecting the position of the double bond in alkene or other unsaturated compounds.
