They are formed from an aryl halide and an organocopper reagent in the Castro Stephens reaction, and the addition of azides to one of them is an example of a "click chemistry" reaction studied by Sharpless.

The products of the Corey-Fuchs reaction also have these groups, and they can be produced via an E2 elimination of vicinal dihalides. In the presence of Mercury sulfate and a catalytic amount of acid, water is added across these functional groups to yield ketones, and the terminal types have a pKa of about 25. For 10 points, identify these functional groups which contain carbon-carbon triple bonds, whose best known example is acetylene or ethyne.
