convesion acetylene to 1-butyne
Hello Aspirant,
I hope you are doing well.
The following steps are used to make greater alkynes from lower alkynes:
There are two steps to this reaction:
Step 1: Acetylides are formed when the terminal ethyne reacts with the sodamide.
Step 2: Acetylides combine with a haloalkane (ethylchloride) to form but-1-yne, which is a higher alkyne.
HC≡CHNaNH2HC≡CNaCH3CH2BrHC≡C−CH2CH3.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck
