Correct answer: B
-
Identify the starting compound
The given alkyne is: This is propyne.
-
First reaction: hydrogenation with
Catalytic hydrogenation of an alkyne with under controlled addition of one mole of hydrogen gives the corresponding alkene:
So, which is propene.
-
Second reaction: ozonolysis of propene
Now propene undergoes ozonolysis followed by reductive workup:
Ozonolysis cleaves the double bond and converts each alkene carbon into a carbonyl group.
Structure of propene:
Breaking the double bond:
- The middle carbon gives ethanal
- The terminal carbon gives methanal
Therefore,
-
Match with options
This corresponds to:
Hence, the correct option is B.
-
Check other options briefly
- A: gives ethanol as one ozonolysis product, which is impossible; ozonolysis gives carbonyl compounds, not alcohols.
- C: takes as propane, but ozonolysis requires an alkene double bond.
Therefore, Option B is correct.
