The main use of ozonolysis is for the conversion of unsaturated fatty acids to value-added derivatives. Ozonolysis of oleic acid is an important route to azelaic acid. The coproduct is nonanoic acid: [20] CH 3 (CH 2) 7 CH=CH(CH 2) 7 CO 2 H} + 4 O 3 → HO 2 C(CH 2) 7 CO 2 H} + CH 3 (CH 2) 7 CO 2 H
Methylpentene is an alkene with a molecular formula C 6 H 12.The prefix "methyl-" is derived from the fact that there is a methyl(CH 3) branch, the word root "-pent-" is derived from the fact that there are 5 carbon atoms in the parent chain, while the "-ene" suffix denotes that there is a double bond present, as per IUPAC nomenclature.

As of 2010s, the only commercial manufacturer of 1-pentene was Sasol Ltd., where it is separated from crude by the Fischer-Tropsch process. [2] 2-Pentene has two geometric isomers: cis-2-pentene and trans-2-pentene. Cis-2-Pentene is used in olefin metathesis.
The oxime first reacts with the ozone to form the corresponding carbonyl oxide, undergoes 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with the carbonyl reactant to form the cyclic ozonide, as usual for the Criegee intermediate in the ozonolysis of alkenes. If no carbonyl compound is used, the carbonyl oxide may dimerize and form 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes.
3-Methyl-3-penten-2-one is an unsaturated aliphatic ketone. It is an isomer of mesityl oxide and isomesityl oxide. It is a precursor of 3-methyl-2-pentanone (methyl sec-butyl ketone) and is obtained by acid-catalyzed dehydration of 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-pentanone. It is used as an intermediate in organic chemistry syntheses. [1]
R)-2-Methylpent-4-enoic acid can also be used in synthesis of other chiral compounds. For example, it has been used in the process of synthesizing the drug Sacubitril as a reagent for adding a chiral center to the molecule.
Hagemann's ester, ethyl 2-methyl-4-oxo-2-cyclohexenecarboxylate, is an organic compound that was first prepared and described in 1893 by German chemist Carl Hagemann. The compound is used in organic chemistry as a reagent in the synthesis of many natural products including sterols , trisporic acids , and terpenoids .
2-Methylpentane, trivially known as isohexane, is a branched-chain alkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 14.It is a structural isomer of hexane composed of a methyl group bonded to the second carbon atom in a pentane chain.
