Chapter 14, Problem 14.23P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The synthesis of $\text{1-nonanol}$ from acetylene and any other hydrocarbon with carbon number less than five is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

There are two classes of hydrocarbon compounds saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are of two types, alkenes and alkynes. The alkene consists of a double bond between two carbon atoms. The alkynes consist of a triple bond between two carbon atoms. The general formula of alkynes is ${\text{C}}_n{\text{H}}_{\text{2}n-\text{2}}$. The name of the alkyne compounds ends with suffix $-yne$.

(c)

Interpretation:

The synthesis of $trans-2-\text{heptyne}$ from acetylene and any other hydrocarbon with carbon number less than five is to be stated.
