How to prepare ethyne from 1,2-dibromoethane
Answers
Preparation of ethyne from 1,2-dibromoethane
1. Heat 1,2-dibromoethane in the presence of alcoholic potassium hydroxide as a catalyst.
2. This process yields product such as 1-Bromoethane, Potassium bromide, and water.
3. When 1-Bromoethane is treated with another compound called sodamide with chemical formula () due to occurrence of de-hydrogenation and de-halogenation, it leads to the formation of ethyne.
4. Thus the product ethyne is obtained from 1,2-dibromoethane through a process such as de-hydrogenation and de-halogenation.
5. The chemical equation involved in the preparation of ethyne from 1,2-dibromoethane is given in the attachment.
