Chapter 9 : Alkynes |
Alkynes contain the doubly unsaturated C≡C
functional group.
Terminal alkynes, R-C≡C-H, are quite acidic for hydrocarbons
and can be deprotonated to form a carbanion that can then be alkylated.
Like alkenes (C=C), the alkyne C≡C undergoes a variety of
addition reactions (review)
