Question
Why is the following reaction sequence not an efficient approach to the desired product?
4-CEC-H
2)
1) NaNH2
3) NANH2
4) CH3BR
CEC-
Br
(NOT produced)
O NANH2 is used in the reduction of alkynes to trans alkenes
O Br is not a good enough leaving group
O The secondary alkyl halide could undergo an elimination reaction
O The terminal alkyne is not acidic enough to be deprotonated
