A single compound of the structure is obtainable from ozonolysis of which of the following cyclic compounds?





To solve this problem, we need to determine which cyclic compound undergoes ozonolysis to give the given compound.The given compound is:• An aldehyde and a ketone are formed, indicating a specific cleavage pattern.Ozonolysis of alkenes results in the cleavage of the double bond, forming carbonyl compounds.Let's analyze each option:Option 1:• The compound is a cyclopentene with two methyl groups on adjacent carbons.• Ozonolysis would yield two different carbonyl compounds, not matching the given structure.Option 2:• The compound is a cyclopentene with two methyl groups on the same carbon.• Ozonolysis would yield two identical carbonyl compounds, not matching the given structure.Option 3:• The compound is a cyclopentene with one methyl group on each of two adjacent carbons.• Ozonolysis would yield two different carbonyl compounds, not matching the given structure.Option 4:• The compound is a cyclohexene with methyl groups on adjacent carbons.• Ozonolysis would yield the given aldehyde and ketone, matching the structure.Therefore, the correct option is 4.The cyclic compound in Option 4 undergoes ozonolysis to produce the given compound.
