Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Ozone is a very reactive allotrope of oxygen. The reaction of ozone with alkenes and alkynes causes the oxidative cleaving of the alkene or alkyne. The carbon-carbon double bonds are replaced with carbon-oxygen double bonds, giving the required carbonyl product as shown below.
In all other options both compounds will give the same product on ozonolysis.
