The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the information provided about compound (A) and its reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reagents**: - **Tollens' Reagent**: This reagent is used to test for aldehydes. It does not react with ketones or alkanes. A positive test results in the formation of a silver mirror. - **Grignard Reagent**: This reagent reacts with compounds that have acidic protons, such as terminal alkynes and aldehydes. It forms a new carbon-carbon bond. 2. **Analyzing Compound (A)**: - The problem states that compound (A) does not react with either Tollens' or Grignard reagents. This indicates that (A) is likely not an aldehyde or a terminal alkyne, as these would react with the respective reagents. 3. **Treatment with NaNH₂**: - When compound (A) is treated with sodium amide (NaNH₂), it indicates that (A) is likely an internal alkyne. Internal alkynes do not have acidic protons that can be removed by NaNH₂, but they can be converted to terminal alkynes upon treatment with strong bases like NaNH₂. 4. **Formation of Terminal Alkyne**: - The treatment of an internal alkyne with NaNH₂ results in the formation of a terminal alkyne. This terminal alkyne can then react positively with both Tollens' reagent and Grignard reagent. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, compound (A) must be an internal alkyne. Upon treatment with NaNH₂, it converts to a terminal alkyne, which can then react with both Tollens' and Grignard reagents. ### Final Answer: The compound (A) is an internal alkyne.
