Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The products obtained from metathesis of the following alkyne have to be determined.

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 12.5, Problem 22P

Concept introduction:

Alkene Metathesis Or olefin metathesis

This breaks the double bond of an alkene and then rejoins the fragments.  When the fragments are joined, the new double bond is formed between two sp2 carbons that were not previously bonded. Alkenes also undergoes metathesis.

Terminal alkene gives the best yields of a single alkene product in metathesis because one of the products is ethane, which is equally removed from the reaction mixture, thus shifting the equilibrium in favor of the other new alkene product.
