The most suitable reagent for the following conversion, is:
Options
- ANa/liquid N H 3
- BH 2 , P d / C , quinoline
- CZ n / H C l
- DH g 2 + / H + , H 2 O
Correct answer
B. H 2 , P d / C , quinoline
Step-by-step solution
(i) Na/ Liquid NH 3 (Birch reduction) it reduces non-terminal alkynes into alkene (trans/anti addition) (ii) H 2 / P d - C , quinoline (lindlar catalyst) reduces alkyne into alkene by syn addition. This will give the required product. (iii) Z n / H C l is Clemmensen reduction which reduced carbonyl into an alkene. (iv) H g + 2 / H ⊕ , H 2 O is an electrophilic addition reaction, which converts alkyne into ketone.
