A 3D model of ethyne (), the simplest alkyneIn organic chemistry, an alkyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon—carbon triple bond. [1] The simplest acyclic alkynes with only one triple bond and no other functional groups form a homologous series with the general chemical formula C n H 2n−2.
2-Butyne (dimethylacetylene, crotonylene or but-2-yne) is an alkyne with chemical formula CH 3 C≡CCH 3.Produced artificially, it is a colorless, volatile, pungent liquid at standard temperature and pressure.
1-Pentyne is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 C≡CH. It is a terminal alkyne , in fact the smallest that is liquid at room temperature. The compound is a common terminal alkyne substrate in diverse studies of catalysis.
2-Octyne, also known as methylpentylethyne and oct-2-yne, [1] is a type of alkyne with a triple bond at its second carbon (the '2-' indicates the location of the triple bond in the chain). Its formula is C 8 H 14. [2] Its density at 25 °C and otherwise stable conditions is 0.759 g/ml. [3] The boiling point is 137 °C. [3]
The general chemical equation for the hydration of alkenes is the following: RRC=CH 2 + H 2 O → RRC(OH)-CH 3. A hydroxyl group (OH −) attaches to one carbon of the double bond, and a proton (H +) adds to the other. The reaction is highly exothermic. In the first step, the alkene acts as a nucleophile and attacks the proton, following ...
Acetylene (systematic name: ethyne) is the chemical compound with the formula C 2 H 2 and structure H−C≡C−H. It is a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne. [8] This colorless gas is widely used as a fuel and a chemical building block. It is unstable in its pure form and thus is usually handled as a solution. [9]
With aqueous pK a values of around 16–19, alcohols are, in general, slightly weaker acids than water. With strong bases such as sodium hydride or sodium they form salts [a] called alkoxides, with the general formula RO − M + (where R is an alkyl and M is a metal). R−OH + NaH → R−O − Na + + H 2 2 R−OH + 2 Na → 2 R−O − Na + + H 2
By hydration of alkynes. [10] Such processes occur via enols and require the presence of an acid and mercury(II) sulfate (HgSO 4). Subsequent enol–keto tautomerization gives a ketone. This reaction always produces a ketone, even with a terminal alkyne, the only exception being the hydration of acetylene, which produces acetaldehyde.
