Solution

The correct sequence of reagents to convert acetylene into trans-3-hexene is:

  1. excess NaNH2;
  2. excess CH3CH2I;
  3. Na, NH3 (liq)

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. The first step involves the use of excess NaNH2, which is a strong base. This reagent is used to deprotonate acetylene, generating a carbanion.

  2. The second step involves the use of excess CH3CH2I. This reagent reacts with the carbanion generated in the first step, leading to the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond. The excess of this reagent ensures that both sides of the acetylene molecule are reacted.

  3. The final step involves the use of sodium metal in liquid ammonia (Na, NH3 (liq)). This is a reduction step, which converts the triple bond into a double bond. The specific conditions of this reaction (sodium in liquid ammonia) ensure that the product is the trans isomer of the alkene, which is trans-3-hexene.
