When ozone reacts with unsaturated hydrocarbons, the products formed are called:

When ozone reacts with unsaturated hydrocarbons, the products formed are called:

  • A. ozonites
  • B. ozonides
  • C. carbazone
  • D. unsaturated ozone

Step-by-step solution

The reaction of ozone with unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes or alkynes) is known as ozonolysis. The initial product formed is an ozonide, a cyclic trioxolane intermediate, which subsequently hydrolyzes to yield carbonyl compounds. Thus, the products formed directly from the reaction are called ozonides."
