What happens when ethyne reacts with iodine in the presence of alcohol?
1,1- Diiodoethane
1,2-Diiodoethane
1,2-Diiodoethene
1,1-Diiodoethene
The correct option is B. 1,2-Diiodoethene
Iodine reacts slowly in the presence of alcohol to form di-iodo derivatives. So, ethyne reacts with iodine to form 1,2-Diiodoethene.
