An alkene "X" on ozonolysis gives CH3CH2COCH3 and CH3CHO. The IUPAC name of X is?

Answer: 3-Methyl-2-Pentene
Explanation

Ozonolysis splits the double bond and gives:

  • CH₃CH₂COCH₃ (Butan-2-one)
  • CH₃CHO (Acetaldehyde)

These products match the cleavage of 3-methyl-2-pentene at the double bond.
