“…Acids, aldehydes, or alcohols may be produced in a two-stage process, the first of which involves reaction with ozone and the second, oxidation or reduction of the ozonotysis products. As methods and processes have become more refined, however, ozonolysis has been severely criticized because of numerous byproduct reactions (5,6,13,14,23,26,28,(30)(31)(32). Consequently, ozonolysis is stated to be unsatisfactory as a method for determining the position of double bonds because of secondary reactions of the ozonide (30), because of artifacts produced (6), or even because of double bond migration during ozonolysis (7).…”
