Choose the most appropriate reagent(s) for the conversion of propyne and 2-methyl-1-tosyloxypropane to 5-methyl-2-hexyne. nanh2, nh3 naoh, h2o koch2ch3, hoch2ch3 h2so4 nh3

NaNH2, NH3

Explanation:

Choose the most appropriate reagent(s) for the conversion of propyne and 2-methyl-1-tosyloxy propane to 5-methyl-2-hexyne. NaNH2, NH3 NaOH, H2O KOCH2CH3, HOCH2CH3 H2SO4 NH3

answer is  NaNH2, NH3

NaNH2, NH3 is strong to to convert propyne into a nucleophilic salt which in turn displaced tosylate in  2-methyl-1-tosyloxy propane to yield  5-methyl-2-hexyne.

Propyne and 5-methyl-2-hexyne. are still of the same homologous series,, so no triple bond is broken during the reaction

The essence of a reagent is to bring the reaction to its end point

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
