An alkene , C_6H_(12) after ozonolysis yielded two products. One of these gave a positive iodoform reaction but a negative Tollen's test. The other iodoform reaction. What is the name and structure of that alkene ? |

Answer» SOLUTION :One product is a METHYL ketone as it gives positive IODOFORM test, but a negative Tollen.s test. The other product is an aldehyde without methy group attached to CARBONYL carbon as it does not respond to iodoform test. Hence, the products of OZONOLYSIS are : `CH_(3)COCH_(3)` and `CH_(3)CH_(2)CHO`. Therefore, the alkene is 2-methylpent-2-ene. Its structure is `CH_(3)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)=CHCH_(2)CH_(3)`. |
