Detailed Solution

Reaction Intermediates: Alkene to Alkyne Conversion

The conversion of CH3CH2CH=CH2 to CH3CH2C≡CH involves the following steps:

Step 1: Bromination

CH3CH2CH=CH2 + Br2→ CH3CH2CHBr-CH2Br 
(in CCl4 solvent)

Key Intermediate:

1,2-Dibromobutane (vicinal dibromide)
Structure: CH3CH2CHBr-CH2Br

This intermediate is formed by the addition of bromine across the C=C double bond, creating two adjacent carbon atoms each bearing a bromine atom.

Step 2: Double Dehydrohalogenation

CH3CH2CHBr-CH2Br + 2 NaNH2→ CH3CH2C≡CH + 2 NaBr + 2 NH3
(with heat, Δ)

Mechanism Summary:

  1. Bromination: Br2 adds across the double bond to form a vicinal dibromide intermediate
  2. First elimination: NaNH2 removes HBr to form an alkene
  3. Second elimination: NaNH2 removes another HBr to form the alkyne

Final Product: 1-butyne (CH3CH2C≡CH)
