The alkenes can be converted into aldehydes and ketones by reacting the given aldehydes and ketones with ozone in the presence of Zn dust and water. So, when the but- 2en is reacted with ozone, there is formation of ozonide, which on reduction with zinc dust and water gives 2 moles of ethanal or acetaldehyde. The reaction is given below:
Take chapter-wise tests, track your progress, and master Aldehydes and ketones.
