Butyne Transformation

Chemistry Level 2

Butyne is mixed in with a solution of \(\ce{H_2SO_4}\), \(\ce{HgSO_4}\), and \(\ce{H2 O}\). This is quickly followed by an addition of \(\ce{Cl_2}\) and \(\ce{OH^-} \), with a post acid workup. Lastly, diazomethane is added. \[\] Determine which choice; \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), or \(D\), is the major product of the above series of reactions.
