Step-by-Step Solution

Answer


1Step1: Alkylation

Migration of the alkyl group from one molecule to another via carbanion or carbocation formation

2Step2: Alkylation of acetylide ion


Acetylide ion is a strong nucleophile which reacts with the electrophile like alkyl halide that replace the halide and form alkyne. Hence new C-C bond is formed and old C-Br bond is broke.
