The acidity of sp C-H uses a third equivalent of the base and can form a terminal acetylide which is either protonated in a workup step or reacted further with an electrophile (2. methyl or primary RBr or 2. carbonyl compound or 2. epoxide) R H Na NH Na Na NH2 2 C Br R C H C further H2N H C C H C C reactions Br C R possible H H Br Na R H R = H, CH3 or CH3CH2 from our starting materials Na H H H H C O C Na H C C C H H C O C C H3C C R R H C 2. workup H C C H 3 H2 H2 C H2 C C Br C C CH3 H3C Br R C Na Na R 2.

The steps of the zipper reaction are similar to the steps of tautomers in base: 1. proton off, 2. resonance, 3. proton on. This continues until the terminal alkyne is formed. Loss of the sp C-H forms the most stable anion and the reaction stops there until one of the workup possiblities completes the reaction.
