Step 1
- The molecular formula \( \mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{6} \) suggests a linear alkyne, likely 1-butyne or 2-butyne. Show more…

The alkene shown below is treated sequentially with ozone (O3) and zinc/acetic acid. Draw structural formula(s) for the organic product(s) formed. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple products using the + sign from the drop-down menu.
