Question

An alkene ( A ) on ozonolysis gives a mixture of two carbonyl compounds. Mixture on Clemmensen reduction gives just one alkane ( B ) . ( B ) is the lowest alkane which in pure form can not be prepared by standard Wurtz method. ( A ) is, M e C H = C H M e, M e C H 2 C H = C M e 2, M e C H 2 C H 2 C H 2 C H = C E t 2, M e C H 2 C H 2 C H = C ( M e ) E t

Simplest alkane which cannot be prepared by wurtz reaction is propane. So the alkene must be unsymmetrical having six carbon, which can give two different carbonyl each contain three carbons.
