Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which reagent is used to convert an alkyne to a cis-alkene?
  • Step 1: Start with an alkyne, which is a type of hydrocarbon with a triple bond between two carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: To convert the alkyne to a cis-alkene, you need to add hydrogen (H2) to it.
  • Step 3: Use a special catalyst called Lindlar's catalyst, which helps the reaction happen in a controlled way.
  • Step 4: The reaction will add hydrogen to the triple bond of the alkyne, turning it into a double bond, resulting in a cis-alkene.
