JEE Main Chemistry question
How many of the following will yield methanol as one product on (strongly reductive) ozonolysis: propylene, isobutylene, but-2-ene, 2-methylbut-1-ene, 2-methylbut-2-ene?
Answer: 3
Solution
Under a strongly reductive work-up (as established elsewhere in this document, giving the alcohol rather than the aldehyde), a terminal =CH group specifically gives methanol.
