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.

More than 50% of American adults have oral herpes, which is commonly known as "cold sores" or "fever blisters." The herpes virus can be active on the skin surface without showing any signs or causing any symptoms.

Did you know?

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
