Question 8 ### Predicting the Products of Organic Reactions**Problem Statement:**Predict the products of each reaction below. Indicate regiochemistry and stereochemistry when relevant.**Reaction:**\[ \text{H} \quad \text{H} \]\[ \text{C} \equiv \text{C} + \text{CH}_2\text{I}_2 \rightarrow \quad \text{Zn(Cu), ether} \]\[ \text{H}_3\text{C} \quad \text{CH}_3 \]### Explanation:**Reactants and Reagents:**1. The starting molecule is 2-butyne with the molecular formula \( \text{C}_4\text{H}_6 \). The structure is as follows: \[ \text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{C} \equiv \text{C}-\text{CH}_3 \]2. The reaction involves methylene iodide (\(\text{CH}_2\text{I}_2\)) and zinc-copper couple (Zn/Cu) in ether as the solvent.**Reaction Mechanism:**1. The reaction shown is the Simmons-Smith reaction, which converts alkenes (or alkynes in some cases) into cyclopropane derivatives using a carbenoid intermediate.2. Here, the methylene iodide reacts with the zinc-copper couple to form the carbenoid (iodozincmethylene), which then adds to the triple bond of the alkyne.**Product:**The product of this reaction is trans-2,3-dimethylcyclopropane.- The cyclopropanation of the alkyne will result in the formation of a three-membered ring with two methyl groups attached to the newly formed cyclopropane ring. The product can be represented as: \[ \text{H}_3\text{C}\text{-}\text{C}\text{-}\overset{\displaystyle\sf II}{\text{CH}_2} \text{-}\overset{-\displaystyle{\sf II}}{\text{C}}\text{-}\text{CH}_3 \]**Regiochemistry and Stereochemistry:**- The reaction maintains the stereochemistry of the starting alkyne if specificity is maintained.- The formed cyclopropane ring will have the
