Efficient and Convenient Method for Workup of Ozonolysis Reaction Using Sodium Hydrosulfite

Abstract

An efficient and convenient method is reported for reductive workup of the ozonolysis reaction using sodium hydrosulfite. Comparisons were made between triethylamine and methyl sulfide for their use as a quenching reagent in the ozonolysis of a variety of alkenes.
