Chapter 14, Problem 14.39AP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why excess of acetylene is avoided in reaction of acetylene and ethylmagnesium bromide and its mechanism are tobe stated.

Concept introduction:

The compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms are known as hydrocarbon compounds. These compounds originate from plants and animals. These are also known as organic compounds. There are two classes of hydrocarbon compounds which are saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Unsaturated hydrocarbon compound are of two types alkenes and alkynes. The alkene contains a double bond between two carbon atoms. The alkynes contain a triple bond between two carbon atoms and follow general formula ${\text{C}}_n{\text{H}}_{\text{2}n-\text{2}}$. The name of the alkyne compounds ends with a suffix $-yne$.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why excess of acetylene is avoided in reaction of ethynylmagnesium bromide and ethylmagnesium bromide and its mechanism are to be stated.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why is it important for the side product to be soluble to minimize both side reactions discussed in part (a) and (b) is to be stated.
