Final answer:
Among the options provided (1-iodopropane, 2-iodopropane, aldehyde, and epoxide), an epoxide will NOT form a new C-C sigma bond with a terminal alkyne organometallic reagent as it typically undergoes ring-opening reactions rather than C-C bond formation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to the reactivity of terminal alkyne organometallic reagents formed through deprotonation with a strong base. These organometallic reagents are nucleophilic and can form new C-C sigma bonds with electrophiles. When considering the electrophiles given (1-iodopropane, 2-iodopropane, aldehyde, and epoxide), all except epoxides are capable of undergoing a reaction that forms a new C-C sigma bond with a terminal alkyne organometallic reagent.
Epoxides, under standard conditions, typically react with nucleophiles in a way that opens the ring structure rather than forming a new C-C bond with an alkyne. Therefore, among the options given, epoxide will NOT result in a new C-C sigma bond during a reaction with a terminal alkyne organometallic reagent.
