The major product formed when butene is reacted with followed by treatment with
The major product formed when \( 2- \) butene is reacted with \( O_{3} \) followed by treatment with \( Z n / H_{2} O \) is
- A. \( C H_{3} \) СООН
- B. \( C H_{3} C H O \)
- C. \( C H_{3} C H_{2} O H \)
- D. \( C H_{2}=C H_{2} \)
Step-by-step solution
Ozonolysis of 2-butene (CH3CH=CHCH3) followed by reductive workup with Zn/H2O cleaves the double bond, yielding two molecules of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) as the major product.
