    The reagent used to convert an alkyne to alkene is

    A)  \[Zn/HCl\]         

    B)  \[Sn/HCl\]

    C)  \[Zn-Hg/HCl\]                  

    D)  \[Pd-{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Alkynes are converted into alkenes by using Lindlar?s catalyst \[({{H}_{2}}/Pd)\] \[\underset{Alkyne}{\mathop{R-C\equiv R-R}}\,\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}/Pd}R-\underset{cis\text{ }alkene}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,=\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-R\]
