Ozone is used in synthetic organic chemistry for a number of useful
transformations. To generate ozone either in bulk or in situ, there
are a number of available methods.  Commercial ozonators are available
that produce up to 4% ozone in air or 8% ozone in oxygen. Welsbach
Corp. manufactures one of these beasts and puts out a 90+ page
bulletin which describes reactions and techniques in much detail with
refs. Org. Syn. II, 673 has a lab scale ozone prep. For more detail on
ozonolysis in general and ozone generation, try Augustine and Trecker,
"Oxidation", Marcel Dekker, Inc., NY, 1969, 1971, vol. 1, 259-335.
