(b)
Interpretation:
How to synthesize the given compound from an alkyne is to be described.
Concept introduction:
The carbon-carbon triple bond in terminal alkynes is electron rich and thus undergoes electrophilic addition reaction with a strong Bronsted acid such as hydrogen halide. Addition of two equivalents of hydrogen halide to a terminal alkyne produces a geminal dihalide, in which both the halide atoms are on the same carbon atom. The regioselectivity is in accordance with the Markovnikov’s rule. The hydrogen halide adds twice to generate the geminal dihalide. If hydrogen bromide is used as a reagent, the reaction goes through formation of a pi complex with an alkyne. This pi complex is stabilized by the attraction between electron rich triple bond and electron poor proton of the acid. The alkyne must be symmetric to avoid producing a mixture of isomers. An unsymmetric alkyne produces a mixture of isomers.

- DIVING DEEP You are a scuba diver deep below sea level, and you know the dangers of ascending back to the surface. First you know that your ascent must be slow in order to avoid the "bends." This has to do with the solubility of gases in liquids. Second, you know that you must exhale a larger volume than you inhale during your ascent, and if you don't your lungs will rupture. Explain this second effect using your knowledge of the ideal gas law.arrow_forwardPlease don't use Ai solutionarrow_forwardExplain the role of chlorophyll and its function in biological systems.
