Develop syntheses for the following compounds, using acetylene and compounds containing no more than four carbon atoms as your organic starting materials.
(a) 3-methylnon-4-yn-3-ol (鈥3-ol鈥 means there is an OH group on C3.)
(b) cis-1-ethyl-2-methylcyclopropane
(c)

(d) meso-hexane-3,4-diol
Question:Predict the products of the reaction of but-1-yne with the following reagents.

(b)2 equivalents of HCl
(c)excess H2 , Ni
(d) H2 , Pd /BaSO4, quinolone
(e)1 equivalent of Br2
(f)2 equivalents of Br2
(g)cold, dilute KMnO4
(h)warm, concd.KMnO4 , NaOH
(i)Na, liquid ammonia
(j) NaNH2
(k) H2SO4/HgSO4, H2O
(l) Sia2BH, then , H2O2,OH-
For each molecular formula, draw all the isomeric alkynes, and give their IUPAC names. Circle the acetylenic hydrogen of each terminal alkyne.
(a) (three isomers)
(b) (seven isomers)
Disiamylborane adds only once to alkynes by virtue of its two bulky secondary isoamyl groups. Disiamylborane is prepared by the reaction of BH3. THF with an alkene.
(a) Draw the structural formulas of the reagents and the products in the preparation of disiamylborane.
(b) Explain why the reaction in part (a) goes only as far as the dialkylborane. Why is Sia3B not formed?
Propose a mechanism for the reaction of pent-1-yne with HBr in the presence of peroxides. Show why anti-Markovnikov orientation results.
