Question

Compound A ($C_4H_8Br_2$) is treated with potassium hydroxide and water form a symmetric alkyne (comp. B) and symmetric alkene (comp.c) both with formula $C_4H_8$. Comp.c will react with ethylene to produce comp.D. When comp.D is treated with acidic potassium permanganate comp.E is formed. Comp. E shows a parent peak at m/z = 146 in its mass spectrum and strong absorption band in IR spectrum at 1711 $cm^{-1}$. Identify compounds A through E by name and formula. State your reasoning. $eg+$ \begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth} \centering \includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{image} \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth} \centering Name \\ 3-bromoaniline \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth} \centering Formula \\ $H_2N(C_6H_4)Br$ where $NH_2$ and $Br$ are meta on benzene ring. \end{minipage}

Compound A (C4H8Br2) is treated with potassium hydroxide and water form a symmetric alkyne (comp. B) and symmetric alkene (comp.c) both with formula C4H8. Comp.c will react with ethylene to produce comp.D. When comp.D is treated with acidic potassium permanganate comp.E is formed. Comp. E shows a parent peak at m/z = 146 in its mass spectrum and strong absorption band in IR spectrum at 1711 cm^-1. Identify compounds A through E by name and formula. State your reasoning.
