Aman has been asked to synthesise the molecule xx, 1-(cyclopent-1-en-1-yl)ethan-1-one, in which an acetyl group COCH3-CO-CH_3 is attached to C-1 of cyclopentene. He thought of preparing the molecule using an aldol condensation reaction. He found a few cyclic alkenes in his laboratory. He thought of performing an ozonolysis reaction on an alkene to produce a dicarbonyl compound, followed by an aldol reaction to prepare xx. Predict the suitable alkene that can lead to the formation of xx.
