Provide the IUPAC name for the alkyne expected to produce the two compounds listed below upon ozonolysis. CH₃CH₂CO₂H and (CH₃)₃CCO₂H A) 1-tert-butyl-1-butyne B) 2,2-dimethyl-3-hexyne C) 3,3-dimethyl-2-hexyne D) 5,5-dimethyl-3-hexyne E) 3-octyne

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both products have a terminal aldehyde and a ketone group. This suggests that the alkyne had two 3 carbon substituents, which upon ozonolysis were each oxidized to a carbonyl group. The only alkyne with two 3 carbon substituents is 2,2-dimethyl-3-hexyne.
