Q. Acetylene, carbon monoxide and ethyl alcohol react in the presence of nickel catalyst. The product will be

BHUBHU 2009

Solution:

When acetylene reacts with $CO$ and $C _{2} H _{5} OH$ in the presence of $Ni$, an unsaturated ester is formed.
$HC = CH + CO + C _{2} H _{5} OH \ce{->[{ Ni }]}CH _{2}= \underset{\text{(unsaturated ester)}}{\underset{\text{ethyl acrylste}}{CHCOOC _{2} }H _{5}}$
