JEE Main Chemistry question

An alkene on reductive ozonolysis gives 2 molecules of CH(CHO). The alkene is [Kerala CEE 2006]

(A)2,4-hexadiene
(B)1,3-cyclohexadiene
(C)1,4-cyclohexadieneCorrect
(D)1-methyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene

Answer: (C)

Solution

1,4-Cyclohexadiene has two C=C bonds positioned symmetrically opposite each other in the ring, separated on each side by exactly one CH group. Ozonolysis cleaves both double bonds; each cleavage event converts a ring CH= into a
