When an alkene undergoes ozonolysis, the double bond is cleaved, forming carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones). Given the products: CH₃CH₂COCH₃ (Butan-2-one, a ketone) CH₃CHO (Acetaldehyde) We backtrack by connecting the carbon atoms of these carbonyl compounds across a double bond. This leads to the structure of 3-ethylpent-2-ene.
An alkene "X" on ozonolysis gives CH3CH2COCH3 and CH3CHO. The IUPAC name of X is?
