Given below are two statements: Statement I : Ozonolysis followed by treatment with Zn, H₂O of cis-2 butene gives ethanal. Statement II : The product obtained by ozonolysis followed by treatment with Zn, H₂O of 3, 6-dimethyloct-4-ene has no chiral carbon atom. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

1. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
4. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Solution

Both statements are accurate; ozonolysis of cis-2-butene indeed yields ethanal, and the ozonolysis product of 3,6-dimethyloct-4-ene lacks chiral centers due to its symmetrical structure.
