Which sequence of reactions can be used to convert (Z) 2-pentene to 2-pentyne A) Treatment with Br₂; followed by treatment with NaNH₂ B) Treatment with Br₂, H₂O; followed by treatment with NaOH C) Treatment with Br₂; followed by treatment with H₂SO₄ D) Treatment with HBr; followed by treatment with NaOH

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence involves halogenation with Br2 to add bromine across the double bond, followed by dehydrohalogenation with NaNH2 to remove the halogen and a hydrogen, creating a triple bond and forming 2-pentyne.
