    Alkenes undergo ozonolysis reactions where ozone, a powerful electrophile, breaks both the σ and π bonds of the carbon-carbon double bond of an alkene. This forms an unstable five-membered ozonide intermediate that can then be reduced to yield carbonyl compounds.

    ALKENES
    Reactions:
    Ozonolysis of Alkenes:
    Ozone (O3) is the tri-atomic form of oxygen and it can be represented as a hybrid of its two
    most stable Lewis structures.

    Ozone is a powerful electrophile and undergoes a remarkable reaction with alkenes in


    which both the and components of the carboncarbon double bond are broken to give a
    five-membered product, an ozonide. The unstable ozonide can then be reduced to afford
    carbonyl compounds.
