a)
Interpretation:
The product formed and the electron pushing mechanism for its formation, when 2-pentyne is reduced with Li in NH3 is to be given.
Concept introduction:
Lithium metal donates an electron to the
The addition takes place with trans stereochemistry. The stereochemistry is established in the third step when the less hindered vinylic anion is formed from vinylic radical.
To propose:
The product formed and the electron pushing mechanism for its formation, when 2-pentyne is reduced with Li in NH3.
b)
Interpretation:
The product formed and the electron pushing mechanism for its formation, when 3-methyl-1-butyne is reduced with Li in ND3 is to be given.
Concept introduction:
Lithium metal donates an electron to the alkyne to give an anion radical which in the next step abstracts a proton from deuteratedammonia solvent to yield a vinylic radical. In the third step the vinylic radical accepts a second electron from another Li atom to produce a vinylic anion which in the fourth step abstracts another proton from the solvent to yield the final trans product.
The addition takes place with trans stereochemistry. The stereochemistry is established in the third step when the less hindered vinylic anion is formed from vinylic radical.
To propose:
The product formed and the electron pushing mechanism for its formation, when 3-methyl-1-butyne is reduced with Li in ND3.
c)
Interpretation:
The product formed and the electron pushing mechanism for its formation, when propynylbenzene is reduced with Li in NH3 is to be given.
Concept introduction:
Lithium metal donates an electron to the alkyne to give an anion radical which in the next step abstracts a proton from ammonia solvent to yield a vinylic radical.

The alkyl halide 1-bromo-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane (A) undergoes dehydrohalogenation reaction when treated with methanol (CH3OH) as a nucleophile give a mixture of products, alkenes B and C. When the concentration of the alkyl halide is doubled, the rate of the reaction is doubles; the rate of product formation also doubles. However, when the concentration of the ethanol is doubled, the rate of the reaction is not affected (i) What is the mechanism responsible for this elimination reaction?
