The reagent used to convert an alkyne to alkene is
- A \(\mathrm{Zn} / \mathrm{HCl}\)
- B \(\mathrm{Sn} / \mathrm{HCl}\)
- C \(\mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Hg} / \mathrm{HCl}\)
- D \(\mathrm{Pd} / \mathrm{H}_{2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{Pd} / \mathrm{H}_{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alkynes are converted into alkenes by using Lindlar's catalyst \(\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} / \mathrm{Pd}\right)\)
