Question:

Identify \( Z \) in the following reaction sequence \[ CH_3CH_2CH_2OH \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4, 160^\circ C} CH_3CH_2CH = CH_2 \xrightarrow{NaNH_2} Z \]

Show Hint

The Wurtz-type reaction uses sodium amide (\( NaNH_2 \)) to induce the formation of an alkyne.

  • \( CH_3CH_2CH_2NH_2 \)
  • \( CH_3CH_2CH_2C = C \)
  • \( CH_3CH_2CH_2C \)
  • \( CH_3CH = CH_2 \)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The reaction sequence involves the dehydration of alcohol to form alkene, followed by a strong base (\( NaNH_2 \)) which induces elimination to form the alkyne.
