Options
- ACH ₃ CH ₂ CH ₂ C CCH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₃
- BCH ₃ CH ₂ C CH
- CCH ₃ CH = CHCH ₃
- DCH ₃ CH ₂ C CCH ₂ CH ₃
Correct answer
B. CH ₃ CH ₂ C CH
Step-by-step solution
CH ₃ CH ₂- C CH Na / Liq 9 NH CH ₃ CH ₂ C C Na ^ It is a terminal alkyne, having acidic hydrogen. Note: Solve it as a case of terminal alkynes, otherwise all alkynes react with Na in liq. NH ₃ .
