Hello, my book is very bad at explaining the additionreactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons. ( halogenation, hydration & halogenation). My book does have "unsaturated hydrocarbons" as a title, so I would think it also applies to both alkynes & alkenes, but the book doesnt even give examples of alkynes. It only discusses alkynes & this gives me the impression that alkynes do not undergo addition.
They have only given one example for alkynes and thats for the hydrogenation of ethyne for example. They didnt say anything on the halogenation of alkynes or the hydration of alkynes.
So I went on youtube and found this:
Its the same there ( they only give an example for the hydrogenation of alkynes, the rest is all alkenes). So this got me wondering: does the addition for the halogenation & hydration apply to alkynes?
If yes, then I assume that I can write the following reactions (for example):
Halogenation of alkynes:
Hydration of alkynes:
Thanks in advance!
