An alkene ‘X’ (C\(_4\)H\(_8\)) does not exhibit cis/trans isomerism. Reaction of ‘X’ with Br\(_2\)/CCL\(_4\), followed by reaction with reagent ‘Y’ gave ‘Z’ (C\(_6\)H\(_6\)). What are ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ respectively?
Show Hint
Dehydrohalogenation reactions with NaNH\(_2\) lead to the formation of alkynes from vicinal dibromides.
(i) alc.KOH, (ii) NaNH\(_2\) ; CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)C = CH
(i) alc.KOH, (ii) NaNH\(_2\) ; CH\(_3\)C = CCH\(_3\)
\textbf{Correct Answer:} (3) (i) alc.KOH, (ii) NaNH\(_2\) ; CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)C = CH

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option isC
Solution and Explanation
The reaction of ‘X’ with Br\(_2\)/CCL\(_4\) produces a vicinal dibromide. The subsequent treatment with alcoholic KOH causes elimination to form an alkene, which can undergo dehydrohalogenation with NaNH\(_2\) to give the required alkyne.
Thus, the answer is (i) alc.KOH and (ii) NaNH\(_2\).
