**Topic: Synthesis of Substituted Alkynes**

**Question:**  
9.6 What terminal alkyne and alkyl halide react to give the following compound?

**Reaction Overview:**

- **Reactant:** A sodium amide (NaNH₂) reagent is used to facilitate the reaction.
- **Product:** The target compound depicted is a branched alkyne featuring a triple bond connected to an ethyl group and an isopropyl group.

**Note:**  
The hint suggests observing the nature of the alkyne substituents—in this case, indicating that one alkyne substituent is primary and the other is secondary.

### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram consists of:

1. **Chemical Arrow:**
   - Indicates the direction of the reaction from left to right, with NaNH₂ above the arrow.

2. **Structural Formula of Product:**
   - Features a carbon chain with a triple bond (alkyne). 
   - On one side, an ethyl group is attached. 
   - On the other, an isopropyl group is connected.

**Hint Explanation:**
The hint emphasizes the structural nature of the substituents around the alkyne:
- **Primary Substituent:** Contains a carbon attached to only one other carbon.
- **Secondary Substituent:** Contains a carbon attached to two other carbons.

This information is critical for determining the initial reactants required for the synthesis of the compound.
