Alkenes on reacting with ozone results in the formation of ozonide which undergo reductive cleavage in presence of dimethyl sulfide to form carbonyl compounds (aldehyde or ketone). Whereas in presence of hydrogen peroxide it undergoes oxidative cleavage to form carboxylic acids or ketones.
Since, A alkene yields 4-heptanone only on treatment with ozone and DMS thus, it implies that both the chains on the side of the double-bond are similar the product is 4-heptanone that means the double bond is present between the chains at the 4th carbon. Therefore the structure of compound A is 4,5-dipropyloct-4-ene.
The reaction is as shown in the image.
The reaction of A with m-CPBA (meta-perchlorobenzoic acid) followed by aqueous acid
is shown in the image.
m-CPBA (meta-perchlorobenzoic acid) is a peracid and forms epoxides on reacting with alkenes.
Answer:
B. Distributed over a very wide range
D. Limited life existence in geologic time.
Explanation:
Index fossils are very unique fossils that helps in determining the relative ages of rocks and biostratigraphic correlation. They are usually called guide fossils.
- Fossils are the preserved remains of dead organisms found in rocks.
- Index fossils are a special class of fossils with the following properties;
- They are widely distributed.
- They have a short stratigraphic range.
- They show rapid evolution trends
The concentrations of a mixture at equilibrium are constant as a function of time because the <span>e forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse reaction.</span>
