Introduction Alkynes contain a triple bond. General formula is CnH2n-2. Two elements of unsaturation for each triple bond. Some reactions resemble the reactions of alkenes,like addition and oxidation. Some reactions are specific to alkynes. Chapter 9 2
Chapter 9 2 Introduction • Alkynes contain a triple bond. • General formula is CnH2n-2 . • Two elements of unsaturation for each triple bond. • Some reactions resemble the reactions of alkenes, like addition and oxidation. • Some reactions are specific to alkynes
Nomenclature:IUPAC Find the longest chain containing the triple bond. Change -ane ending to -yne. Number the chain,starting at the end closest to the triple bond. Give branches or other substituents a number to locate their position. Chapter 9 3
Chapter 9 3 Nomenclature: IUPAC • Find the longest chain containing the triple bond. • Change -ane ending to -yne. • Number the chain, starting at the end closest to the triple bond. • Give branches or other substituents a number to locate their position

Acetylene Acetylene is used in welding torches. In pure oxygen,temperature of flame reaches2800°C. It would violently decompose to its elements,but the cylinder on the torch contains crushed firebrick wet with acetone to moderate it. Chapter 9 7
Chapter 9 7 Acetylene • Acetylene is used in welding torches. • In pure oxygen, temperature of flame reaches 2800C. • It would violently decompose to its elements, but the cylinder on the torch contains crushed firebrick wet with acetone to moderate it
Synthesis of Acetylene Heat coke with lime in an electric furnace to form calcium carbide. Then drip water on the calcium carbide: 3 C CaO CaC2 CO coke lime CaC2 2 H2O H-C≡C-H+Ca(OH)2 This reaction was used to produce light for miners'lamps and for the stage. Chapter 9 8

Molecular Structure of Acetylene H Copyright2010 Pearson Prentice Hall,Inc. Triple-bonded carbons have sp hybrid orbitals. A sigma bond is formed between the carbons by overlap of the sp orbitals. 。 Sigma bonds to the hydrogens are formed by using the second sp orbital. 。 Since the sp orbitals are linear,acetylene will be a linear molecule. Chapter9 9
