CH3-CHCl-CH=CH-CH2-CH3 --(O3 / Zn)-

Number of chiral products are:

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Ans. (C) 1.

Sol. Ozonolysis cleaves the C=C bond, giving CH3-CHCl-CHO (2-chloropropanal) and CH3-CH2-CHO (propanal). 2-Chloropropanal has one stereocentre and is chiral; propanal is achiral. Number of chiral products = 1.
