Chemistry Question on Polarity of bonds
Compound A formed in the following reaction reacts with B gives the product C. Find out A and B.CH3−C≡CH+NaABCH3−C≡C−CH2−CH2+NaBr(C)
A
B
C
D
Answer
Explanation
Solution
The given reaction suggests that sodium acetylide reacts with an alkyl halide to yield the final product. Here, compound A is formed as sodium acetylide:
CH3 – C ≡ CH + Na → CH3 – C ≡ CNa
Then, it reacts with compound B (1-bromopropane):
CH3 – C ≡ CNa + CH3CH2CH2Br → CH3 – C ≡ C – CH2CH2CH3 + NaBr
