On ozonolysis, an organic compound (A) C_(6)H_(10) gives two aldehyde (B) C_(2)H_(4)O and(C ) C_(2)H_(2)O_(2). Determine the structure of A, B and C.

Answer»


Solution :(1) `(A), C_(6)H_(10)` either has one triple bond or two double bonds.
(2) OZONOLYSIS of `(A)` suggests that it has two double bonds.
`underset((A))(C_(6)H_(10))overset("Ozonolysis")rarr underset((B))(C_(2)H_(4)O)+underset((C ))(C_(2)H_(2)O_(2))`
Since, `(B)` and `(C )` are aldehydes, i.e., `CH_(3)CHO` and `underset("ETHANOL(B)")(CH_(3)CHO)` and `underset("Ethane-1,2-dial (C )")(CHO.CHO)`
`:. (A)` is" " `underset("Hexa-2,4-diene")(CH_(3)CH=CH-CH=CHCH_(3))`
