Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Path II is feasible since alkynide ion (II) is more nucleophilic than alkynide ion (I) and undergoes `SN^2` reaction with `1^@ RX (BuBr)` to give compound (C), whereas alkynide ion (I) acts as a base and reacts with `3^@` `RX(Me_3C-Br)` and undergoes `E2` elimination reaction to give alkyne `(H-C-=C-Bu)` and alkene
