--(O 3 / Zn)- → Number of chiral products are:

Ans. (C) 2. Sol. Ozonolysis cleaves C=CH and converts each =CH- into -CHO. The two products are 2-methylbutanal, CH 3 CH 2 -CH(CH 3 )-CHO, which has a stereocentre (H, CH 3 , C 2 H 5 , CHO) : chiral, and 2-bromopropanal, CH 3 -CHBr-CHO, which also has a stereocentre (H, CH 3 , Br, CHO) : chiral. Number of chiral products = 2.

Answer:

Solution:

Ans. (C) 2.

Sol. Ozonolysis cleaves C=CH and converts each =CH- into -CHO. The two products are 2-methylbutanal, CH₃CH₂-CH(CH₃)-CHO, which has a stereocentre (H, CH₃, C₂H₅, CHO) : chiral, and 2-bromopropanal, CH₃-CHBr-CHO, which also has a stereocentre (H, CH₃, Br, CHO) : chiral. Number of chiral products = 2.
