    Acetone will be obtained by the ozonolysis of

    A) 1-butene            

    B) 2-butene            

    C) iso-butene         

    D) 2-butyne

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Acetone is obtained by the ozonolysis of iso-butene, while 1-butene and 2-butene on ozonolysis give aldehyde and 2-butyne gives diketone. \[\underset{iso-\text{butene}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[Zn/{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}]{{{O}_{3}}}\underset{\text{acetone}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,=O}}\,\] \[\underset{\text{formaldehyde}}{\mathop{+HCHO}}\,\]
