Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following reactions can alkynes undergo?
  • Step 1: Understand that alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain a triple bond between carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the triple bond is a reactive site in alkynes.
  • Step 3: Learn that electrophilic addition reactions involve the addition of an electrophile to the triple bond.
  • Step 4: Identify that in these reactions, the triple bond breaks and new bonds are formed with other atoms or groups.
  • Step 5: Conclude that alkynes can undergo various electrophilic addition reactions because of their triple bond.
