Reactions of Alkynes • Acidity (Section 9.5) • Hydrogenation (Section 9.9) • Metal-Ammonia Reduction (Section 9.10) • Addition of Hydrogen Halides (Section 9.11) • Hydration (Section 9.12) • Addition of Halogens (Section 9.13) • Ozonolysis (Section 9.14)

CH3CH2C CH CCH3 CH3C Heats of Hydrogenation 292 kJ/mol 275 kJ/mol Alkyl groups stabilize triple bonds in the same way that they stabilize doublebonds. Internal triple bonds are more stable than terminal ones.
H2 H2 RCH RC CHR' CR' cat cat Partial Hydrogenation • Alkenes could be used to prepare alkenes if acatalyst were available that is active enough to catalyze the hydrogenation of alkynes, but notactive enough for the hydrogenation of alkenes. RCH2CH2R'
H2 H2 RCH RC CHR' CR' cat cat Lindlar Palladium • There is a catalyst that will catalyze the hydrogenationof alkynes to alkenes, but not that of alkenes to alkanes. • It is called the Lindlar catalyst and consists ofpalladium supported on CaCO3, which has been poisoned with lead acetate and quinoline. • syn-Hydrogenation occurs; cis alkenes are formed.
