AI Thread Summary
The reaction of 1-methyl ethyne with HBr results in the formation of a bromoalkene due to the addition of Br across the triple bond. The Grignard reagent, generated from Mg(0) in THF, reacts with acetone to produce a tertiary alcohol. The final product is identified as 2-pentane-4-ol. Confirmation of this product is sought, indicating a need for peer validation. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry.

Homework Statement



I get that the Br will attach to the triple bond creating a double bond and a Br at the end. I get the gringard reagent but what will the acetone do?

no one wants to respond :(
 
I believe I got it it is 2 pentane-4-ol. If anyone would like to confirm that it would be great.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
