2-pentyne on reaction with sodium in liquid ammonia produced compound \(A\). What is \(A\) ?

  1. A n-pentane
  2. B 1-pentyne
  3. C cis-2-pentene
  4. D trans-2-pentene
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) trans-2-pentene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_3-\stackrel{\mathrm{Na}}{\stackrel{\mathrm{LiNH}_3}{\longrightarrow}}\) alkyne on reduction with \(\mathrm{Na}\) / Liq \(\cdot \mathrm{NH}_3\) produce trans-alkene.
