Question: The correct trend of acidic nature of the following alkynes is....

The correct trend of acidic nature of the following alkynes is.

A

CHCH>CH3CCH>CH3CCCH3\mathrm { CH } \equiv \mathrm { CH } > \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } - \mathrm { C } \equiv \mathrm { CH } > \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { C } \equiv \mathrm { CCH } _ { 3 }

B

CH3C=CH>CHCH>CH3CCCH3\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } - \mathrm { C } = \mathrm { CH } > \mathrm { CH } \equiv \mathrm { CH } > \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { C } \equiv \mathrm { CCH } _ { 3 }

C

CH3CCCH3>CH2CCH>CHCH\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { C } \equiv \mathrm { CCH } _ { 3 } > \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } - \mathrm { C } \equiv \mathrm { CH } > \mathrm { CH } \equiv \mathrm { CH }

D

CHCH>CH3CCH3>CH3CCH\mathrm { CH } \equiv \mathrm { CH } > \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \equiv \mathrm { CCH } _ { 3 } > \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { C } \equiv \mathrm { CH }

Answer

CHCH>CH3CCH>CH3CCCH3\mathrm { CH } \equiv \mathrm { CH } > \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } - \mathrm { C } \equiv \mathrm { CH } > \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { C } \equiv \mathrm { CCH } _ { 3 }

Explanation

Solution

The hydrogen atoms attached to triply bonded carbons are acidic and not all the hydrogen atoms of alkynes.
