One mole of alkene $\underline{X}$ on ozonolysis gave one mole of acetaldehyde and one mole of acetone. The IUPAC name of $\underline{X}$ is
2-methyl-2-butene
2-methyl-1-butene
2-butene
1-butene
Solution
To decide the structure of alkene that undergoes ozonolysis, bring the products together in such a way that $\mathrm{O}$ atoms are face to face, and replace $\mathrm{O}$ by double $(=)$ bond. Thus,
