Correct answer: A
-
Identify compound A formed in the reaction
The reaction implied here is the formation of a sodium acetylide from a terminal alkyne. A terminal alkyne such as propyne, on treatment with a strong base like sodium amide gives
So the intermediate compound should be the sodium salt of a terminal alkyne.
-
Nature of reaction with B
Sodium acetylides are strong nucleophiles and react with primary alkyl halides via reaction to form a higher alkyne.
General reaction:
-
Check the options
Option A
Reaction: This gives an internal alkyne, which is a standard alkylation of sodium acetylide with a primary alkyl bromide.
So this is correct.
Option B
Propene does not behave like an acetylide ion and will not undergo the required nucleophilic substitution to form the expected alkyne product.
So this is incorrect.
Option C
Propane is an alkane, not a good electrophile, and cannot react with sodium acetylide in this way.
So this is incorrect.
Option D
Propane is not the reactive intermediate formed, and terminal alkyne alone is not the electrophile for this coupling.
So this is incorrect.
-
Conclusion
The only feasible pair is:
Hence, the correct option is A.
