The initial product of this reaction is an ozonide. Treatment of the ozonide with acid and an oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide will convert any aldehydes to carboxylic acids. Beta keto carboxylic acids loses carbon dioxide on heating. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-ienmidtkisnjnquc.jpg" />
