Question 1

Select the expected major product of the reaction sequence shown.



◦ 3-methylhexyne
◦ 2-bromo-3-methylhexyne
◦ 1-bromo-3-methylhexybe
◦ 3-methyl-1-hexyne
◦ 3-methyl-2-hexyne

Question 2

The most frequent method for preparing terminal alkynes using an elimination reaction involves dissolving sodium amide (NaNH2) in liquid ammonia (NH3).  Which of the following statements offers the best explanation for the above statement?
◦ Steric hindrance favors preparation of the less substituted terminal alkyne.
◦ Sodium amide is required because it increases the stability of the terminal alkyne, stabilizing the intermediate.
◦ Sodium amide irreversibly deprotonates the terminal alkyne, driving the elimination reaction to completion.
◦ Sodium amide deprotonates internal alkynes, which begins the series of reactions necessary reactions to generate a terminal alkyne.
◦ This provides an environment in which terminal alkynes are more stable than the internal alkynes and therefore the favored product.

Individuals are never “cured” of addictions. Instead, they learn how to manage their disease to lead healthy, balanced lives.

Did you know?

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

Did you know?

Most strokes are caused when blood clots move to a blood vessel in the brain and block blood flow to that area. Thrombolytic therapy can be used to dissolve the clot quickly. If given within 3 hours of the first stroke symptoms, this therapy can help limit stroke damage and disability.
