Explanation | Common mistakes | Hint for next step
Ethyne which is a terminal alkyne reacts with sodamide to give acetylides which on reaction with haloalkane produce higher alkyne which is pent-1-yne.
2.
Explanation | Common mistakes
The hydrogenation of alkynes can be easily carried out using deactivated catalysts such as Lindlar's catalyst to produce cis alkene. The Lindlar's catalyst Pd/CACO3 in lead acetate poisoned with a small amount of quinoline. The acid catalysed reaction of water with alkenes results in the formation of alcohol. The alcohol formed here is 2-pentanol. The addition of water molecule takes place according to Markonikov's rule which states that highly substituted alkenes are predominantly formed.
