Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
Which would be the major isolated organic product of the reaction shown?
**Reaction Setup:**
- Reactants: A benzene ring attached to a terminal alkyne
- Reagents: Na, NH₃ (liquid)
**Options:**
A) An alkane with an arene attached
B) A cis- alkene
C) A trans- alkene
D) An alkene that is neither cis- nor trans-
E) A different product or a mixture of more than one of the choices in equal amounts
**Explanation:**
This image likely depicts a partial reduction reaction of an alkyne using sodium in liquid ammonia, also known as the Birch reduction. This method typically converts alkynes to trans-alkenes. Hence, option C may represent the major product.

O the transition state of an endothermic reaction step structurally resembles the reactant. O it is used to assign the E/Z stereochemistry of alkenes. the less stable carbocation intermediate is formed in electrophilic additions to alkenes. O in additions of HX to alkenes, the H adds to the less substituted alkene carbon and the X adds to the more substituted alkene carbon. O the transition state of an exothermic reaction step structurally resembles the reactant.
