closest to the triple bond.• Give branches or other substituents a
number to locate their position. =>

Acetylene
• Acetylene is used in welding torches.• In pure oxygen, temperature of flame
reaches 2800C.• It would violently decompose to its
elements, but the cylinder on the torch contains crushed firebrick wet with acetone to moderate it. =>

• The two pi bonds are unhybridized p overlaps at 90, which blend into acylindrical shape.
=>

Chapter 9 12
Bond Lengths• More s character, so shorter length.• Three bonding overlaps, so shorter.
Bond angle is 180, so linear geometry. =>
![Page 13: Chapter 9 Alkynes](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56814953550346895db6a339/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Chapter 9 13
Acidity of Alkynes
• Terminal alkynes, R-CC-H, are more acidic than other hydrocarbons.
• Acetylene acetylide by NH2-, but not
by OH- or RO-.• More s character, so pair of electrons in
anion is held more closely to the nucleus. Less charge separation, so more stable. =>

Forming Acetylide Ions• H+ can be removed from a terminal alkyne by sodium
amide, NaNH2.
• NaNH2 is produced by the reaction of ammonia with sodium metal.

Alkynes from Acetylides
• Acetylide ions are good nucleophiles.• SN2 reaction with 1 alkyl halides
lengthens the alkyne chain.

Synthesis by Elimination
• Removal of two molecules of HX from a vicinal or geminal dihalide produces an alkyne.
• First step (-HX) is easy, forms vinyl halide.
• Second step, removal of HX from the vinyl halide requires very strong base and high temperatures. =>

Reagents for Elimination

Chapter 9 26
Addition of Hydrogen• Three reactions:• Add lots of H2 with metal catalyst (Pd, Pt, or
Ni) to reduce alkyne to alkane, completely saturated.
• Use a special catalyst, Lindlar’s catalyst, to convert an alkyne to a cis-alkene.
• React the alkyne with sodium in liquid ammonia to form a trans-alkene. =>
![Page 27: Chapter 9 Alkynes](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56814953550346895db6a339/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Chapter 9 27
Lindlar’s Catalyst• Powdered BaSO4 coated with Pd,
poisoned with quinoline.• H2 adds syn, so cis-alkene is formed.

Na in Liquid Ammonia
• Use dry ice to keep ammonia liquid.• As sodium metal dissolves in the
ammonia, it loses an electron.• The electron is solvated by the
ammonia, creating a deep blue solution.

MechanismStep 1: An electron adds to the alkyne, forming a radical anion
Step 2: The radical anion is protonated to give a radical
Step 3: An electron adds to the alkyne, forming an anion
=>
Step 4: Protonation of the anion gives an alkene

Addition of Halogens• Cl2 and Br2 add to alkynes to form vinyl
dihalides.• May add syn or anti, so product is

Hydration of Alkynes
• Mercuric sulfate in aqueous sulfuric acid adds H-OH to one pi bond with a Markovnikov orientation, forming a vinyl alcohol (enol) that rearranges to a ketone.
• Hydroboration-oxidation adds H-OH with an anti-Markovnikov orientation, and rearranges to an aldehyde.

Oxidation of Alkynes
• Similar to oxidation of alkenes.• Dilute, neutral solution of KMnO4
oxidizes alkynes to a diketone.• Warm, basic KMnO4 cleaves the triple
bond.• Ozonolysis, followed by hydrolysis,
cleaves the triple bond. =>
