An alkyne with the molecular formula C6H10 was reduced with H2 and Lindlar's catalyst. Ozonolysis of the resulting alkene afforded formaldehyde and an unbranched aldehyde. What is the IUPAC name of the alkyne that was reduced?

Respuesta :

Given that the alkyne has a formula as C₆H₁₀, the IUPAC name of the alkyne is hexyne

What is an alkyne?

Alkynes are unsaturated hydcarbons with the general formula of CₙH₂ₙ₋₂. They contains triple bonds (C≡C) in the carbon chains. The simplest member of this family is ethyne (C₂H₂)

The first nine members of the Alkynes sre:

  • Ethyne, C₂H₂
  • Propyne, C₃H₄
  • Butyne, C₄H₆
  • Pentyne, C₅H₈
  • Hexyne, C₆H₁₀
  • Heptyne, C₇H₁₂
  • Octyne, C₈H₁₄
  • Nonyne, C₉H₁₆
  • Decyne, C₁₀H₁₈

Considering the question given above, the formula of the alkyne is C₆H₁₀.

Therefore, the name of the alkyne is hexyne
