3 multiple answer 2 points ozonolysis of an alkene produces: ketones carboxylic acids aldehydes alcohols previous
Ozonolysis of alkenes involves reacting alkenes with ozone ($O_3$). In the reductive work - up (e.g., using $Zn/H_2O$), the ozonide intermediate is cleaved. If the carbon - carbon double bond has substituents $R_1R_2C = CR_3R_4$, when $R_1$ and $R_2$ (or $R_3$ and $R_4$) are alkyl groups, ketones are formed. When at least one of the groups attached to the double - bonded carbon is hydrogen, aldehydes are formed. Carboxylic acids are formed in oxidative work - up (e.g., using $H_2O_2$) of ozonides, not in the general ozonolysis reaction described here. Alcohols are not the direct products of ozonolysis of alkenes.
