Question 16

Multiple Choice

In the rearrangement of 2-butyne to 1-butyne, what causes the reaction to go to completion?
In the rearrangement of 2-butyne to 1-butyne, what causes the reaction to go to completion?   A)  the increased stability of the terminal triple bond in the product B)  the high  pK<sub>a</sub>  of ammonia versus the methyl group in 2-butyne C)  the decreased activation energy for conversion of the allene intermediate to 1 -butyne D)  the much lower pK<sub>a</sub>  of the acetylenic proton in the product versus the other species E)  the increased stability of the 1,2 -butadiene intermediate versus 2 -butyne
