Answer :
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
According to what you state in the problem, we have an ethyne bonded to a cyclopentane.
So, in the 1st step reacts with NaNH₂. In this step, the base which is very strong will substract the hydrogen from carbon 2, forming an anion in there. In the second step, this anion will react with CH₃I, and form a larger chain, the methyl group is attached to the alkyne.
Finally in the last step reacts with sodium in ammonia, this is to reduct the triple bond to just a single bond and leave an alkane only. The picture below shows these steps.
Hope this helps.
