An unsaturated hydrocarbon ‘A’ adds two molecules of H₂ and on reductive ozonolysis gives butane-1,4-dial, ethanal and propanone. Give the structure of ‘A’, write its IUPAC name and explain the reactions involved.

Question

An unsaturated hydrocarbon ‘A’ adds two molecules of H₂ and on reductive ozonolysis gives butane-1,4-dial, ethanal and propanone. Give the structure of ‘A’, write its IUPAC name and explain the reactions involved.

Philoid · Accepted Answer

‘A’ add two mole H₂ so it has 2 double bond in the hydrocarbon chain.

On reductive ozonolysis of compound having double bond break the double bond and respective product after breaking double bond form either ketone or aldehyde .

A after reductive ozonolysis form following compound -

So compound A is
