Solution

(i) KOH (alc.): dehydrobromination of the vicinal dibromide gives 1-bromocyclooctene.

(ii) NaNH2: a second dehydrobromination gives cyclooctyne (the smallest isolable cycloalkyne).

(iii) Hg2+/H+: hydration of the C≡C gives an enol, which tautomerises to cyclooctanone.

(iv) Zn-Hg/H+ (Clemmensen reduction): >C=O >CH2, giving cyclooctane.

C8H14Br2 alc. KOH C8H13Br NaNH2 C8H12 Hg2+/H+ C8H14O Zn-Hg/H+ C8H16

P = cyclooctane.

An optically active alkyl halide C4H9Br [A] reacts with hot KOH dissolved in ethanol and forms alkene [B] as major product which reacts with bromine to give dibromide [C]. The compound [C] is converted into a gas [D] upon reacting with alcoholic NaNH2. During hydration 18 gram of water is added to 1 mole of gas [D] on warming with mercuric sulphate and dilute acid at 333 K to form compound [E]. The IUPAC name of compound [E] is :

  1. Butan-2-ol
  2. But-2-yne
  3. Butan-2-one
  4. Butan-1-al
