The total number of chiral molecules formed from one molecule of P on complete ozonolysis (

O_{3}, Zn / H_{2} O

) is ____.

Answer: 2

Solution

Ozonolysis of compound P cleaves the double bonds and produces carbonyl compounds. Analyzing the structure of P and the ozonolysis products, two of the resulting molecules contain chiral centers (asymmetric carbons bearing four different groups), while the others are achiral.
