    X = 1 - Butyne ; Y = 3 - Hexyne
  • B
    X = 2 - Butyne ; Y = 3 - Hexyne
  • C
    X = 2 - Butyne ; Y = 2 - Hexyne
  • D
    X = 1 - Butyne ; Y = 2 - Hexyne

Solution

Terminal alkynes on reaction with NaNH2/liq.NH3 results in the formation of sodium acetylides, and these sodium acetylides undergo nucleophilic substitution react with alkyl halides to form higher alkynes.
