An alkene on reaction with and ZnâH gives propanone and ethanal in equimolar ratio. Addition of to alkene gives as the major product. The structure of product is:




To solve this problem, we need to determine the structure of alkene and the major product Step 1: Identify the alkene The ozonolysis of alkene gives propanone and ethanal in equimolar ratio.The structure of propanone is CHCOCH and ethanal is CHCHOThis suggests that the alkene is 2-methylbut-2-ene:CHC(CH)=CHCHStep 2: Determine the major product from the addition of The addition of to an alkene follows Markovnikov's rule, where the hydrogen adds to the carbon with more hydrogens.For 2-methylbut-2-ene:CHC(CH)=CHCHHClCHC(CH)(Cl)CHCHStep 3: Identify the structure of product The major product is 2-chloro-2-methylbutane.Comparing with the options, Option 3 matches this structure:CHC(CH)(Cl)CHCHTherefore, the correct option is Option 3.
