How many moles of sodamide are required to synthesize and alkyne from the following compound? `CH_2CH_2CHBrCH_2Br`A. One moleB. Two molesC. Four molesD. Three moles

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Vic-dihalides undergo double dehydrohalogenationn requiring two moles of `NaNH_2`. The terminal alkyne is converted to the alkynyl anion as soon as it is formed. Thus three moles of the base are used in the overall reaction.
