Identify the alkyne in the following sequence of reactions,

  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CH}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CH}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{HC} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{CH}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In Wacker process, alkene is oxidised into aldehyde. Since on ozonolysis, only alkenes produce aldehydes, ' \(A\) ' must be an alkene. To decide the structure of alkene that undergoes ozonolysis, bring the products together in such a way that \(\mathrm{O}\) atoms are face to…
