Dear maitridesai429@gmail.com

Thanks for asking us a question in Ask the Expert section of TopperLearning.com.

Ozonolysis causes the cleavage of alkenes(double bond) or alkynes(triple bonds) by reaction with ozone followed by reducing work-up with Zinc in acetic acid.

We would request you to clarify / provide additional details so that we may answer this to the best of the ability.

Regards

Topperlearning Team.
