Q65 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Chemistry
In the reaction

X and Y are:
In the reaction
- Correct answerAX = 1 - Butyne ; Y = 3 - Hexyne
- BX = 2 - Butyne ; Y = 3 - Hexyne
- CX = 2 - Butyne ; Y = 2 - Hexyne
- DX = 1 - Butyne ; Y = 2 - Hexyne
Solution
Terminal alkynes on reaction with results in the formation of sodium acetylides, and these sodium acetylides undergo nucleophilic substitution react with alkyl halides to form higher alkynes.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
