The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we will analyze the reaction step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the starting compound The starting compound is an alkyne, specifically ethyne (acetylene), which has the structure: \[ H-C \equiv C-H \] ### Step 2: First reaction with NaNH₂ in liquid ammonia When ethyne reacts with sodium amide (NaNH₂) in liquid ammonia, it acts as a strong base and deprotonates one of the hydrogen atoms. This results in the formation of an acetylide anion: \[ H-C \equiv C^- \] ### Step 3: Nucleophilic attack on ethyl bromide The acetylide anion then acts as a nucleophile and attacks ethyl bromide (CH₃CH₂Br). The bromine atom is displaced, leading to the formation of 1-butyne: \[ H-C \equiv C-CH₂CH₃ \] This compound is 1-butyne. ### Step 4: Second reaction with NaNH₂ in liquid ammonia Next, we take the product from the first reaction (1-butyne) and treat it again with sodium amide in liquid ammonia. The strong base will again deprotonate the terminal hydrogen of 1-butyne, forming another acetylide anion: \[ H-C \equiv C-CH₂CH₃ \rightarrow C \equiv C-CH₂CH₃^- \] ### Step 5: Nucleophilic attack on ethyl bromide again The newly formed acetylide anion will again act as a nucleophile and attack another molecule of ethyl bromide (CH₃CH₂Br). The result of this reaction will be the formation of 3-hexane: \[ C \equiv C-CH₂CH₃ + CH₃CH₂Br \rightarrow C \equiv C-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃ \] This compound is 3-hexane. ### Summary of products - **X** is 1-butyne (C₄H₆) - **Y** is 3-hexane (C₆H₁₄) ### Final Answer - **X = 1-butyne** - **Y = 3-hexane**
