What is Oxidation? • Loss of electrons • Gain of oxygen atoms • Loss of hydrogen (H2) INCREASING OXIDATION
What is Reduction? • Gain of electrons • Gain of hydrogen atoms • Loss of oxygen atoms REDUCED

WORKUP PROCEDURES FOR OZONOLYSIS Two types of workup (decomposition of the ozonide) are possible : 1. OXIDATIVE Hydrogen peroxide is present Aldehydes are oxidized to carboxylic acids. Formaldehyde is oxidized to carbon dioxide, which is lost as a gas. 2. REDUCTIVE Add Zn and H2O or H3O+ METHOD A Reduce the ozonide with Pd / H2 , and then add acid ( H3O+ ). METHOD B Aldehydes survive intact and are not oxidized with reductive conditions.
REDUCTIVE WORKUP OXIDATIVE WORKUP EXAMPLES O3 Zn / H2O OR O3 1) Pd/H2 • O3 2) H3O+ 2) H2O2 H3O+ + H2O
“At one time” = before spectroscopy. AT ONE TIME OZONOLYSIS WAS WIDELY USED FOR STRUCTURE PROOF BY DEGRADATION Broken apart ( or degraded ) to simpler pieces that are easier to identify. Unknown compound The original structure can be deduced by reassembling the pieces.
