Predict the major product(s) for the reaction of pent-1-en-4-yne with sodium amide followed by reaction with bromoethane. a. hept-1-en-4-yne b. hept-6-en-3-yne c. hept-3-en-6-yne d. hept-4-en-1-yne

Major product is Hept-1-en-4-yne

Explanation:

Sodium amide () gives acid-base reaction with terminal alkyne preferably than terminl alkene. Because terminal alkyne are more acidic due to sp-hybridization of carbon atom.

In the first step, sodium amide first deprotonates pent-1-en-4-yne to produce an alkenylide anion.

In the second step, the alkenylide anion gives a reaction with bromoethane to produce hept-1-en-4-yne.

Full reaction scheme has been shown below.

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.
