Not surprisingly, what you will find will be very similar to what you’ve just seen. Addition reactions will make up the main portion of triple bond chemistry. An impor￾tant feature is the hydrogen attached to triply bonded carbon: It is unusually acidic, allowing ready removal by strong bases to form a new and synthetically useful class of carbanions called alkynyl anions.

Nomenclature, Structure, and Bonding The alkyne functional group has a geometry simpler than that of the alkenes: It is linear. Thus, no cis-trans iso￾merism is possible; and in naming the alkynes it is necessary only to indicate the position of the triple bond. When the triple bond is at the end of a chain, it is said to be terminal, and it thus possesses a OCqCOH unit. This hydrogen is characterized by unexpectedly high-field absorption in the proton NMR spectrum and by a very strong, polarized carbon–hydrogen bond, making it relatively acidic. Section 13-5 examines some conse￾quences of that acidity. 247 1559T_ch13_247-258 11/03/05 20:12 Page 247
