B Reaction of acetylene with methane
C Reaction of acetylene with methyl chloride
D Reaction of sodium acetylide with methyl chloride
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Propyne can be prepared by the reaction of sodium acetylide (NaC≡CH) with methyl chloride (CH3Cl) via nucleophilic substitution. This is an alkylation of acetylide ion.
