How do you convert ethanol to but-2-yne?
Reactions that might be helpful:
Halogenation
R-OH + P/ #X_2# → R-X
Dehydrohalogenation
Finkelstein Reaction
CH3CH2Br (acetone) + NaI (acetone) → CH3CH2I (acetone) + NaBr (s)
Wurtz Reaction
2R–X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na+X−
Electrophilic Addition,
Nucleophilic Substitution
