An alkyne with the molecular formula C4H6 was reduced with sodium (Na) in liquid ammonia (NH3). Ozonolysis of the resulting alkene afforded only one aldehyde product. What is the IUPAC name of the alkene that was formed by reduction of the starting alkyne

Respuesta :

Since the ozonolysis of the resulting alkene gave only one aldehyde, the starting material is but -2- yne.

Alkynes are a functional group characterized by the presence of the carbon - carbon triple bond. When an alkyne is reacted with sodium (Na) in liquid ammonia (NH3), the alkyne is converted to an alkene.

Alkenes undergo ozonolysis in which ozone is added across the double bond to form an ozonide. In the case, ozonolysis of the resulting alkene afforded only one aldehyde product. The alkyne starting material is but -2- yne.
