Answer

CH3Br+Na+CCHCH32CH3CCHCH32+NaBr

1S N 2 reaction

It is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which an old bond breaks  and a new bond is formed both processes occur simultaneously. Hence, it’s a single-step reaction.

2Formation of CH 3 C ≡ CH CH 3 2

Here, nucleophilic substitution occurs where NaBr is produced and desired product is formed.CH3Br+Na+CCHCH32CH3CCHCH32+NaBr
