(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Synthesis of n-pentane from 1-Bromo propane should be shown.

Concept Introduction:

Target molecule is nothing but the desired product.

Terminal alkynes are unusual for simple hydrocarbons in that they can be deprotonated (pKa = 26) using an appropriate base to generate a carbanion.

The acetylide carbanion is a good nucleophile and can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions (usually SN2 ) with 1o or 2o alkyl halides (Cl, Br or I) which can produce an internal alkyne.

3o alkyl halides are more likely to undergo elimination.

One or both of the terminal H atoms in ethylene (acetylene) H-CC-H can be susbtituted providing access to monosubstituted (H-CC-R) and symmetrical (R = R') or unsymmetrical (R not equal to R') disubstituted alkynes R-CC-R'

The product is also an alkyne; it can also undergo the other reactions.

How many signals do you expect in the H NMR spectrum for this molecule? Br Br Write the answer below. Also, in each of the drawing areas below is a copy of the molecule, with Hs shown. In each copy, one of the H atoms is colored red. Highlight in red all other H atoms that would contribute to the same signal as the H already highlighted red. Note for advanced students: In this question, any multiplet is counted as one signal. Number of signals in the 'H NMR spectrum. For the molecule in the top drawing area, highlight in red any other H atoms that will contribute to the same signal as the H atom already highlighted red. If no other H atoms will contribute, check the box at right. No additional Hs to color in top molecule For the molecule in the bottom drawing area, highlight in red any other H atoms that will contribute to the same signal as the H atom already highlighted red. If no other H atoms will contribute, check the box at right. No additional Hs to color in bottom molecule
