Chapter 9.SE, Problem 18MP
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Study Guide with Student Solutions Manual for McMurry's Organic Chemistry, 9th, Chapter 9.SE, Problem 18MP , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

Assuming that halogens add to alkynes in the same manner as they add to alkenes, a mechanism is to be proposed and the product(s) expected for the reaction in which two equivalents of Br2 adds to 2-butyne is/are to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Alkynes when treated with one equivalent of a halogen yield a dihaloalkene as the product. They react with two equivalents of the halogens to yield a tetrahaloalkane derivative. In the first step of the addition reaction the nucleophilic attack of the π electrons of the double/triple bond in alkene/alkyne on a halogen results in the formation of a cyclic halonium ion with the simultaneous elimination of a halide ion. In the second step the halide ion attacks the cyclic halonium ion to yield the product.

To propose:

A mechanism and to predict the product(s) expected for the reaction in which two equivalents of Br2 adds to 2-butyne assuming that bromine adds to alkynes in the same manner as they add to alkenes.

Interpretation:

Assuming that halogens add to alkynes in the same manner as they add to alkenes, a mechanism is to be proposed and the product(s) expected for the reaction in which two equivalents of Cl2 adds to 1-phenylpropyne is/are to be predicted.

Interpretation:

Assuming that halogens add to alkynes in the same manner as they add to alkenes, a mechanism is to be proposed and the product(s) expected for the reaction in which two equivalents of Br2 adds to 1-pentyne is/are to be predicted.
