- Aa vinyl group
- Ban isopropyl group
- Can acetylenic triple bond
- Dtwo ethylenic double bonds

Correct answer: A
-
Key idea: what does ozonolysis do?
Ozonolysis cleaves a carbon-carbon double bond:
Each carbon of the double bond becomes the carbon of a carbonyl group.
-
When is formaldehyde formed?
Formaldehyde, , is obtained when one carbon of the double bond is a terminal methylene carbon:
On ozonolysis,
So formation of formaldehyde confirms the presence of a terminal alkene unit, i.e. a vinyl group .
-
Check the options
A: a vinyl group
Yes. A vinyl group contains the terminal double bond fragment , which gives formaldehyde on ozonolysis.B: an isopropyl group
Isopropyl group is . It has no double bond, so ozonolysis is not relevant.C: an acetylenic triple bond
Ozonolysis of alkynes gives acids or diketones after cleavage, not formaldehyde as the characteristic product here.D: two ethylenic double bonds
Presence of two double bonds is not specifically confirmed by getting formaldehyde. Formaldehyde specifically indicates a terminal group. -
Conclusion
The compound must contain a vinyl group.
