Problem 19P
Describe the alkyne you would start with and the reagents you would use if you wanted to Synthesize
a. Pentane. b. Cis-2-butene. c. trans-2-pentene. d. 1-hexene.
ANSWER:
Solution 19P:
Here, we are going to find out the appropriate alkyne to synthesize the following products.
Step 1:
- Pentane.
The catalytic hydrogenation of alkyne in presence of Pd/C forms the respective alkane.
Thus, 2-pentyne or 1-pentyne forms Pentane in presence of H2/Pd/C.
