    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 Lindlars catalyst \[({{H}_{2}}/Pd)\] \[\underset{Alkyne}{\mathop{R-C=C-R}}\,\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}/Pd}\underset{cis\,alkene}{\mathop{R-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,=\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-R}}\,\]
