Flashcards
Ozonolysis of alkene
Ozonolysis of alkene
A reaction that uses ozone (O3) to break a double bond in an alkene, producing aldehydes or ketones.
Reductive ozonolysis
Reductive ozonolysis
A type of ozonolysis that converts the carbonyl products to aldehydes or ketones, without oxidizing the resulting products to carboxylic acids.
Aldehyde production
Aldehyde production
The process of creating aldehydes. Often involves ozonolysis of alkenes followed by reductive steps to form aldehyde products without carboxylic acids.
