In addition to displacing halide ions, the acetylide ion also adds to carbonyl groups. 2-Methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBI) is an acetyle
nic alcohol used in the manufacture of products for the agrochemical and specialty chemical industry. It can be synthesized by the addition of acetylene to acetone to form the alkoxide ion and, as a second step, protonation of the alkoxide ion to produce the alcohol. Complete the mechanism for 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol production by drawing in the products of each step and the missing curved arrows. Sodium amide deprotonates the terminal alkyne to form sodium ethynide. Draw all missing reactants and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the canvas and connecting them with bonds. Add charges where needed. Electron flow arrows should start on an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be create
