For the alkynes shows here, show the product(s) expected to form when treated under the following conditions: (viii) Cl₂ (1 equiv.). If you expect two products, show both.
(c)

Answer Problem 39 , parts a–h, using 2-butyne as the starting material instead of propyne.

d. Br₂ (2 mol)/CH₂Cl₂

Answer Problem 39 , parts a–h, using 2-butyne as the starting material instead of propyne.

c. Br₂ (1 mol)/CH₂Cl₂

What is the major product of the reaction of 1 mol of propyne with each of the following reagents?

c. Br₂ (1 mol)/CH₂Cl₂

In the addition of just 1 mole of bromine to 1 mole of hex-1-yne, should the hex-1-yne be added to a bromine solution or should the bromine be added to the hex-1-yne? Explain your answer.

(c)

Trans addition is heavily favored for the addition of Br₂ and Cl₂ to alkynes. With chlorination, however, more of the syn addition product is formed. Rationalize this fact in light of your answer to Assessments 10.50 and 10.51.

Drawing on what you know about the stereochemistry of alkene addition reactions,
