Ozönolysis
« on: October 19, 2012, 02:26:11 AM »
What are the products formed by reductive ozonolysis of penta-1,3-diene?It seems the two double bonds are confusing me.Thanks.
I am horrible at chemistry.I am always liable to fail my chemistry exams.So, sorry for stupid questions.

Complete reductive ozonolysis should give methanol, ethanol and ethylene diol.

What does ozonolysis do to a double bond, and what does the reductive work-up do?

ethylene diol

Do you mean ethane-1,2-diol or ethylene glycol?

Both are the same, only ethylene diol is not known.

If existing, it would be HOCH=CHOH, what converts to OHC-CHO Ethane-dial (Glyoxale).

It is a reductive ozonoylsis, that means the aldehydes and ketones produced are reduced to the corresponding alcohols.

Thats correct, but I was talking about the name ethylene diole. Not about the ozonolysis.

I would have suggested different products. I always thought that ozonolysis had and oxidative (H+, H2O2) or reductive (Me2S or Zn, HOAc) work up. If that were the reductive work up, then aldehydes would be the products, formaldehyde, glyoxal, and acetaldehyde.

If that's the case here then I agree with your suggested products.
