Hey all,
Here's the question.
"Complete the following reaction sequence: indicate regiochemical/stereochemical details as relevant"

1,1,2-trimethylcyclohexane ---> i.) Br2/hv ii.) C2H5ONa/C2H5OH, Heat iii.) Ozonolysis

I have the first two reactions figured out, the problem is that I'm not really sure how to do Ozonolysis, as in where I spilt the compound in order to create the double bond connected to the oxygen.

Thanks

Ozonolysis will split the alkene into two halves creating an aldehyde and/or a ketone. Try it out first and post your results.

Are you asking what the product of the reaction would be, or how the ozonolysis would actually be carried out?

If you just want to know the product, it is like Fluorine said - erase the C¹=C² double bond and replace it with C¹=O O=C²

If you want to know the actual reagents and conditions, you can start here:
