An alkene ‘A’ contains three C-C eight C-H bonds, one C - C straight pi bond. ‘A’ on ozonolysis gives two moles of an aldehyde of molar mass 44 amu. Write the IUPAC name of ‘A’. 

Solution

(i) An aldehyde having molar mass 44 amu is ethanal (CH3CHO).
(ii) Write two moles of ethanal side by side with their oxygen atoms facing towards each other.

(iii) Remove the oxygen atoms and join the two ends by a double bond. 

But-2-ene has three C-C, eight C-H and straight C minus straight C minus straight pi
