Which would be the best way to carry out the following synthesis? A)(1)HA,heat; (2)HBr B)(1)HBr and peroxides; (2)Br₂/CCl₄ C)(1)HA,heat; (2)HBr and peroxides D)(1)Br₂/CCl₄; (2)HA,heat E)(1)HA,heat; (2)Br₂/CCl₄

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best way to carry out the given synthesis is using the following steps:
Step 1: Addition of HBr and peroxides to the alkene to form the corresponding bromoalkane.
Step 2: Treatment of the bromoalkane with HA under heat to carry out an elimination reaction (dehydration) to form the desired alkyne.
Therefore, option C, which combines both the steps in a sequential manner, is the best choice.
