Hydrocarbons - Result Question 12
13. The synthesis of 3-octyne is achieved by adding a bromoalkane into a mixture of sodium amide and an alkyne. The bromoalkane and alkyne respectively are
(2010)
(a) $\mathrm{BrCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$ and $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CH}$
(b) $\mathrm{BrCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$ and $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CH}$
(c) $\mathrm{BrCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$ and $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CH}$
(d) $\mathrm{BrCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$ and $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CH}$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 13. (d)
Solution:
- $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CH}+\mathrm{Br}-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$
