underset text(Symm.alkene)R C H=C H R xrightarrow[(ii)Zn,H2O] (i)O32RCHO Molecular mass of R CHO =44 ⇒ R+12+1+16=44 Mol. mass of R=44-29=15 This is possible, only when R is - CH 3 group. The aldehyde is CH 3 CHO and the symmetrical alkene is CH 3 CH = CHCH 3 underset text 2-Butene CH 3 CH = CHCH 3 xrightarrow[(ii) Zn, H2O](i) O3 underset text Acetaldehyde 2CH 3 CHO
