Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The molecular structures for the compounds A through D, which are consistent with the observed transformations, are to be assigned.
Concept Introduction:
>Alkylation of acetylene takes place in two steps.In the first step, the acetylene is treated with sodium amide, which converts it to its conjugate base. In step two, the acetylide ion reacts with an
Repeating the alkylation sequence of steps using a different alkyl halide converts the acetylene to its disubstituted derivative. The triple bond is internal in this derivative.
>Ozonolysis of
In ozonolysis, each of the triple bonded carbon atoms changes to the carboxyl carbon.
>In case of terminal alkynes, one of the products of ozonolysis is carbonic acid, which further dissociates into carbon dioxide and water.
