2-methyl-2-butene (molecular formula $\mathrm{C}_5 \mathrm{H}_{10}$) yields acetone on ozonolysis. Related Theory Ozone is a very reactive allotrope of oxygen. The reaction of ozone with alkenes and alkynes causes the oxidative cleaving of the alkene or alkyne. The carbon-carbon triple bonds are replaced with carbon-oxygen double bonds, giving the required carbonyl product
