What is the name of the product formed by the reaction of propylide ion and 2-chloropropane? I'm having problem because I don't know the formula of propylide ion.

Answer 1

the name of the product is 4 methyl 2 pentyne. a propylide ion is a three carbon structure with a triple bond between the second and third carbons and a negative charge on the last carbon. the first carbon is bonded to three hydrogens. CH3CC-

Answer 2

That's wrong! It's not right! I have been stuck on this problem for WEEKS!

Answer 3

Nope, Kristen is right. It can also be written as 4-methylpent-2-yne but it's the same thing.

Answer 4

also written as 4-methyl-2-pentyne

Answer 6

Amanda is correct

Answer 7

Answer 8

So what happens to the "chloro" part?

Answer 9

The chlorine takes the electrons from it's bond and leaves with a full valence and a negative charge.

Answer 10

Draw the structure for the product of the reaction between 2-butene and hydroiodic acid, HI.

Answer 11

4-methylpent-2-yne ...is correct

Answer 12

Kristen is correct
