ethene

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Formaldehyde $(HCHO)$ is commonly used to preserve biological specimens as it acts as a fixative by cross-linking proteins.Ozonolysis of an alkene followed by treatment with zinc dust and water (reductive ozonolysis) cleaves the $C=C$ double bond to form carbonyl compounds.For the product $(P)$ to be formaldehyde $(HCHO)$,the starting alkene $(A)$ must be ethene $(CH_2=CH_2)$.The reaction is as follows:$CH_2=CH_2 + O_3 \xrightarrow{Zn/H_2O} 2HCHO$ (Formaldehyde).

An organic compound $(A)$ on ozonolysis followed by treatment with zinc dust and water gives product $(P)$,which can be used to preserve biological specimens. Identify $(A)$.
