    Explanation:

    We are attempting to synthesize 1-butyne from 1-chlorobutane. Since 1-chlorobutane is a primary alkyl halide, 1-butene is formed when 1-chlorobutane is reacted with a bulky base such as t - BuOK or t - BuOH in presence of strong heat. This is an E2 reaction.

    Secondly, the 1-butene is reacted with bromine in carbon tetrachloride. The vicinal dihalide (1,2-dibromobutane) is formed. This can now undergo further elimination reactions in the presence of sodamide and strong heat to yield 1-butyne which is the desired product. These reactions involve the elimination of the first HBr molecule to give an alkenyl bromide. A second elimination now gives the terminal alkyne.
