Front (Question)
Describe the mechanism of ozonolysis (oxidation of an alkene)
Back (Answer)
• Ozone-Cleavage of a Carbon-Carbon Double Bond (Ozonolysis) o Step 1: Ozone reacts with the alkene with both electrophilic and nucleophilic character in a single, simultaneous step o Step 2: Break a bond to give stable molecules or ions o Step 3: Reduction of the ozonide and cleavage results in the final carbonyl fragments
