They exhibit sp2 hybridization, and the general formula for these compounds is CnH2n.
Editor's Note: "alkynes" rhymes with "al-fines"  Performing hydroboration on these compounds results in anti-Markovnikov addition of a hydroxyl group. Reacting mCPBA with this functional group produces epoxides in the Prilezhaev reaction. When compounds with this functional group also possess an adjacent hydroxyl group, they can tautomerize into ketones. Ziegler-Natta catalysts are used to polymerize these compounds, and a cyclic variety of one of these compounds is produced in the Birch reduction. Hydrogen gas and Lindlar's catalyst form the cis version of these compounds from alkynes. They exhibit sp2 hybridization, and the general formula for these compounds is CnH2n. The simplest example of these compounds is ethylene. Name these compounds which contain a carbon-carbon double bond.
