12.6 Alkylation of acetylene and terminal alkynes

i.e. an alkyne with $ - C \equiv CH$ at the end of chain. This method is used to prepare higher alkynes.

\[HC \equiv CH + Na\xrightarrow{{Liquid\,\,N{H_3}}}HC \equiv \mathop C\limits^ - \mathop {Na}\limits^ + \xrightarrow{{RX}}HC \equiv CR\]

\[RC \equiv CH + Na\xrightarrow{{Liquid\,\,N{H_3}}}RC \equiv \mathop C\limits^ - \mathop {Na}\limits^ + \xrightarrow{{R'X}}RC \equiv CR'\]

Terminal alkyne

\[C{H_3}C \equiv CH\xrightarrow[{(ii)\,\,C{H_3}C{H_2}I}]{{(i)\,\,Na/liq.\,\,N{H_3}}}C{H_3}C \equiv CC{H_2}C{H_3}(2 - pentyne)\]

Note:

RX and $R'X\,\,should\,\,be\,\,{1^o}$ alkyl halides, since higher secondary and tertiary halides give mainly alkenes when they react with sodium salt of alkynes.

Alkylation can also be done by using Grignard’s reagent.

\[HC \equiv C - Mg - Br + C{H_3}Br\xrightarrow{{}}CH \equiv CC{H_3} + MgB{r_2}\]
