What is the major product (s) when 2 methyl-2-butene reacts with (i) (ii) \[ Z n

What is the major product (s) when 2 methyl-2-butene reacts with (i) \( O_{3} \) (ii) \[ Z n / C H_{3} C O O H(a q) ? \]

  • A. \( I+I I \)
  • B. \( I I+I I I \)
  • C. \( I I I+I V \)
  • D. II

Step-by-step solution

Ozonolysis of 2-methyl-2-butene with reductive workup (Zn/CH3COOH) cleaves the double bond, yielding acetone (I) and acetaldehyde (II) as the major products. No other significant products are formed.
