    Butyne-1 and butyne-2 can be distinguished by:

    A)  Benedicts reagent

    B)  alkaline \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)  ammonical cuprous chloride

    D)  bromine water

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Butyne-1 and butyne-2 can be distinguished by using ammonical cuprous chloride as only butyne-1 reacts with this reagent to give red ppt. (because it contains active hydrogen) while butyne-2 does not react with it. \[C{{H}_{3}}--C{{H}_{2}}--C\equiv \equiv CH\xrightarrow[\underset{\text{red}\,\text{ppt}\text{.}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}\cdot C{{H}_{2}}C\equiv \equiv C\cdot Cu\,\downarrow }}\,]{C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}/N{{H}_{4}}OH}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}--C\equiv \equiv C--C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\text{no}\,\text{reaction}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}/N{{H}_{4}}OH}}}\,\]
