- b. CH3CH2C≡CCH2CH3
- c. CH3CH2C≡CCH2CH2CH3
(a)

Interpretation:
The major product obtained from the reaction of given compound with excess of
Concept Introduction:
Addition of halides to alkynes: Halogens like chlorine and bromine adds to the alkyne compounds. The general form of the reaction is given below.
If excess halides are present, a second addition reaction also occurs.
Answer to Problem 29P
The major product obtained from the reaction of given compound with excess of
Explanation of Solution
Hydrogen halides undergo addition reaction with alkynes. Alkyne is a nucleophile and it reacts with the electrophile to give a
