Q4 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2009 · Chemistry

One mole of alkene $\underline{X}$ on ozonolysis gave one mole of acetaldehyde and one mole of acetone. The IUPAC name of $\underline{X}$ is

  • Correct answer
    A
    2-methyl-2-butene
  • B
    2-methyl-1-butene
  • C
    2-butene
  • D
    1-butene

Solution

To decide the structure of alkene that undergoes ozonolysis, bring the products together in such a way that $\mathrm{O}$ atoms are face to face, and replace $\mathrm{O}$ by double $(=)$ bond. Thus, Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
