Draw the structure of the major organic product(s) for the following reaction between an acetylenic anion and an alkyl halide. (The reaction stoichiometry is 1:1.) A carbon carbon triple bond where carbon 1 is a carbanion with a lone pair and carbon 2 is bonded to methyl. This reacts with a 5 carbon chain where carbon 3 has a bromine substituent.

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, we are having a reaction between an anion and alkyl halide. The carbon 1 of the anion will act as nucleophile and will attack the electrophile, which is 5 carbon chain with the bromine in the third carbon.

Now, the nucleophyle is an alkyne of 3 carbon. According to the description, it should be:

CH₃ - C ≡ C⁻

And the alkyl halide is:

CH₃ - CH₂ CH(Br) - CH₂ - CH₃

And the final product after the reaction would be the following:

CH₃ - C ≡ C - CH - (CH₂CH₃)₂

However, in the attached picture you can see this better and the mechanism of reaction.

Hope this helps
