Compound X on reaction with O3O_3 followed by Zn/H2OZn/H_2O gives formaldehyde and 2-methylpropanal as products. The compound X is

A

3-Methylbut-1-ene

B

2-Methylbut-1-ene

C

2-Methylbut-2-ene

D

Pent-2-ene

Step-by-Step Solution

The reaction is reductive ozonolysis. Formaldehyde (HCHOHCHO) and 2-methylpropanal ((CH3)2CHCHO(CH_3)_2CHCHO) are formed. Joining these by removing the oxygen atoms of the carbonyl groups gives the alkene: (CH3)2CH−CH=CH2(CH_3)_2CH-CH=CH_2, which is 3-methylbut-1-ene.
