Alkyne Reactions Overview Cheat Sheet – Organic Chemistry

February 7, 2020 By Leah4sci 30 Comments

In response to the feedback for my alkene reaction cheat sheet I've compiled another organic chemistry reference sheet, this time for alkyne reactions. Do NOT simply use this guide to memorize reaction products. Instead use this guide as you study to ensure that you understand mechanisms and recognize reaction sequences.

Filed Under: Organic Chemistry Reference Material Tagged With: alkyne reactions, hydroboration, organic chemistry reactions, oxidation, oxymercuration, ozonolysis, reduction

    Do you have a video for alkyne reactions?

    According to my professor, KMnO4 cleaves in Acidic condititions and adds Hydroxy groups in Basic Conditions

    Wow this helped loads!
    For the full reduction to an alkane though, isn’t it 2 moles of H2 instead of just 1?

    thank you for such clear and concise notes on organic chemistry material, a lot of time the problem is not the actual material, its hearing different things from different sources regarding one topic. you’re the best!

    I would enjoy a video. I struggle with this section in my chem class. Your other videos help me understand the basis of different materials.

    I have heard many different things from many different people. But for an alkyne, is the final product a double bond oxygen with an oh group(in the terminal alkyne) plus CO2 or no

      Shawn: I assume you are referring to cleavage under oxidative conditions such as ozonolysis. If so the answer is yes

    What is that on the alkene chain elongation. Is there a typo on the product where it looks like a red glob and then to it’s right is a capitalized R. What is that red glob supposed to be?

      good question Kaitlyn, I think it’s an error on the sheet. Can’t believe I missed that…
