Solution
The correct option is DCH2Br−CH2Bralc.KOH−−−−−→CH2=CHBrNaNH2−−−−−→CH≡CH Reaction: CH2Br−CH2Bralc.KOH−−−−−→CH2=CHBrNaNH2−−−−−→CH≡CH (ethyne)
In the reaction first β elimination reaction of the alkyl halide takes place to form the corresponding alkene. This alkene on reaction with sodamide forms corresponding alkyne.(As NaNH2 is strong base)
