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

3-Methyl-2-Pentene

2-Pentene

1-Hexene

2-Butene

None of these

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.
