Answer by nitesh chaudhary

The mechanism of this reaction is the same as for the reductive workup. The only difference is the reagent which is added to the last step. It is believed that the first step of this mechanism involves initial syn-addition of ozone. The π electrons act as the nucleophile, attacking the ozone at the electrophilic terminal oxygen. A second carbon-oxygen is formed by the nucleophilic oxygen attacking the other end of the carbon-carbon double bond. This is followed by rearrangement of the extremely unstable molozonide addition product. The formed ozonide is decomposed into the ketone and the carboxylic acid by hydrogen peroxide.
