Question

Monomer A of a polymer on ozonolysis yields two moles of HCHO and one mole of CH₃COCHO.

(a) Deduce the structure of A.

(b) Write the structure of  "all cis" -form of polymer of compound A.

Answer 1

Monomer A of a polymer on ozonolysis yields two moles of HCHO and one mole of CH₃COCHO,so the monomer A is

On the basis of structure of monomer X the structure of polymer is possible as follows :

cis form of polymer of compound A is given as follows
