Unsaturated hydrocarbons undergo addition with ozone to form unstable ozonides which
when hydrolysed in presence of zinc, carbonyl compounds are formed. The overall reaction is
called ozonolysis or reductive ozonolysis. Unsaturated hydrocarbons having C=C or C≡C only
undergo ozonolysis.Ozonolysis reaction is highly useful in detecting (or locating) the position
of the double bond in alkenes or triple bond in alkynes.

Ozonolysis is the cleavage of an alkene or alkyne with ozone to form organic compounds in which the multiple carbon–carbon bond has been replaced by a double bond to oxygen. The outcome of the reaction depends on the type of multiple bond being oxidized and the workup conditions.

aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids such type of compounds react with ozone.
