Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following reactions can be used to convert an alkyne to an alkene?
  • Step 1: Identify the alkyne you want to convert. An alkyne has a triple bond between two carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Prepare for hydrogenation, which is the process of adding hydrogen (H2) to the alkyne.
  • Step 3: Use a catalyst, such as palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), or nickel (Ni), to help the reaction occur.
  • Step 4: Add hydrogen gas (H2) to the alkyne in the presence of the catalyst.
  • Step 5: The hydrogen will break the triple bond and form a double bond, converting the alkyne into an alkene.
