Ozonolysis (reaction of ozone with alkenes)

Ozone reacts with alkene to form unstable ozonide that is reduced by zinc in presence of hydrochloric acid to form carbonyl compounds.

Example

From the products of ozonolysis, it is possible to tell the position of the double bond in the compound that was ozonolyzed because ozonolysis breaks a compound at the double bond.
