Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The selective reagents used to accomplish the given transformation should be draw and identified.

Concept Introduction:

Sodium amide ( ${\text{NaNH}}_{\text{2}}$): The strong base of ( ${\text{NaNH}}_{\text{2}}$) will deprotonate alkynes ( $\text{-C}\equiv \text{C-}$), alcohols ( $\text{R-OH}$) and other organic functional groups with acidic protons such as esters and ketones. It is also a very strong nucleophile. It is a strong base and excellent nucleophile. It’s used deprotonated of weak acids and also for elimination reaction.
