QUESTION:
Identify the reagents necessary to achieve each of the following transformations: Br Br Br Br Br CH3 O O H Br Br Br Br Br Br C O O OH O
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The question is designed to show the versatility of alkynes. Not only do they possess a rich chemistry in their own right, but they can be transformed into alkenes, which have their own wide set of organic transformations. We’re given a terminal alkyne as the starting material, and we’re asked to identify reagents that could achieve a large number of various transformations. Every reaction should be readily familiar to you. If a reaction is unfamiliar to you, now is the time to go back and review the appropriate sections of the text.
