Question

For the product of the reaction below, which proton is removed irreversibly by NaNH2 base, thus preventing any isomerization of the alkyne bond in the product?

Answer 1

The Highly acidic proton joined to one of the carbon in the ALKYNE bond.

(Kindly Check the attachment for the drawing because the solution will need us to draw).

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let us start by defining some major key terms in this particular Question given above;

(1). ISOMERIZATION: isomerization can simply be defined as the kind is of chemical rearrangement whichay lead to the breaking and the formation of new bonds.

(2). NaNH2 BASE: Sodium amide is a Chemical compound which has a Molar mass of 39.01 g/mol and Heat capacity (C) of 66.15 J/mol K. It is also known as sodamide. It is a good nucleophile.

(3). ALKYNE BOND: it is a C-C joined together by three bonds.

The chemical reaction given in the Question is given in the attachment too.

Therefore, The Highly acidic proton joined to one of the carbon in the ALKYNE bond is removed irreversibly by NaNH2 base.
