How to synthesize 1-butanol using ethyne as the only source of carbon?
My proposed synthesis is not the same as the one in my professor's key, but I'm aware that there are many ways to do this, and would like to check mine.
1) Protonate one ethyne fully with Pd/C to create ethane.
2) Add Br2 with heat in radical addition to create bromoethane.
3) Use NaNH2 on another ethyne to create an acetylide ion.
4) Combine the acetylide with bromoethane to create 1-butyne
5) Use lindlar catalyst to create 1-butene
6) Use BH3 and H2O in hydroboration, resulting in 1-butanol.
