    Identify the alkyne in the following sequence of reactions, \[NaOH\] \[{{104}^{o}}40\]

    A)  \[{{103}^{o}}\]

    B)  \[{{107}^{o}}\]

    C)  \[{{109}^{o}}28\]

    D)  \[\underline{X}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     In Wacker process, alkene is oxidised into aldehyde. \[52153\] Since on ozonolysis, only alkenes produce aldehydes, A must be an alkene. To decide the structure of alkene that undergoes ozonolysis, bring the products together in such a way that O atoms are face to face and, replace 0 by double (=) bond. Thus, Therefore, alkyne must be \[Alkyne\xrightarrow[Lindlars\,\,catalyst]{{{H}_{2}}}A\xrightarrow{Ozonolysis}\underset{only}{\mathop{B}}\,\]
