The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the behavior of compound (A) with the reagents mentioned: `[Cu(NH_3)_2]^(+)` (which is a copper(II) complex) and Tollens' reagent, and then its behavior with alcoholic KOH. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reagents and Their Reactions**: - The compound (A) reacts with `[Cu(NH_3)_2]^(+)` and Tollens' reagent. Both of these reagents are known to react with terminal alkynes. - The reaction with `[Cu(NH_3)_2]^(+)` produces a red precipitate (copper(I) acetylide), and the reaction with Tollens' reagent produces a white precipitate (silver acetylide). 2. **Determine the Structure of Compound (A)**: - Since compound (A) reacts with both reagents, it must be a terminal alkyne. Terminal alkynes have the general structure R-C≡C-H, where R is an alkyl group. 3. **Analyze the Reaction with Alcoholic KOH**: - The question states that after treatment with alcoholic KOH, compound (A) does not give the above tests. Alcoholic KOH can lead to elimination reactions, converting terminal alkynes to internal alkynes. - If compound (A) is a terminal alkyne, treatment with alcoholic KOH could convert it into an internal alkyne, which would not react with `[Cu(NH_3)_2]^(+)` or Tollens' reagent. 4. **Consider the Options**: - We need to evaluate the given options (not provided here) to identify which one is a terminal alkyne that can be converted to an internal alkyne upon treatment with alcoholic KOH. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct compound (A) must be a terminal alkyne that, upon treatment with alcoholic KOH, forms an internal alkyne. This is consistent with the behavior described in the question. ### Final Answer: The compound (A) is a terminal alkyne that converts to an internal alkyne upon treatment with alcoholic KOH.
