Mechanism of ozonolysis of propyne

Accepted Answer

The ozonolysis of propyne proceeds in a two-step mechanism. First, ozone (O3) reacts with the triple bond of propyne, forming a molozonide. The molozonide is unstable and quickly rearranges to form an ozonide. The ozonide is then cleaved, yielding two molecules of formaldehyde (CH2O) and one molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2).
