Ozonolysis
Ozonolysis is a reaction involving the cleavage of alkenes or alkynes using ozone (O3) to form carbonyl compounds. In this process, the alkene is treated with ozone at low temperatures, typically around -78 °C, leading to the formation of ozonides, which can be further reduced to aldehydes or ketones using a reducing agent like dimethyl sulfide ((CH3)2S).
