Acetylenic alcohol containing -OH and triple bond can be applicable to;

• Corrosion inhibitor formulation
• Metal complex solution
• Solvent stabilizer
• Biodegradable chemical intermediate to make pesticides, biocides and pharmaceuticals.
• Acetylene chemistry and reagents

Alkynes contain a highly versatile functional group that may be utilized for numerous reactions such as electrophilic additions of hydrogen, halogens, hydrogen halides, or water; metathesis; hydroboration; oxidative cleavage; C-C coupling; and cycloadditions. Terminal alkynes may be transformed into metal acetylides and can then be submitted to nucleophilic substitution with alkyl halides, forming new C-C bonds, or nucleophilic addition, e.g., the Favorskii reaction.

• Addition Reactions
  • Catalytic Hydrogenation by Pt and Pd hydrogenation catalysts to yeild alkanes without isolation of alkene intermediates.
  • Catalytic Hydrogenation by Lindlar’s catalyst to yeild cis- or trans- alkenes without further reduction to alkanes
  • Addition by Electrophilic Reagents
    • Addition of halides (chlorine, bromine, iodine) to yield dihalogen substituted alkanes at the solid bond site
    • Addition of hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr, HI) to yield monohalogen substituted alkenes or dihalogen substituted alkanes
  • Hydration of alkynes to yield ketone products through enol tautomer intermediate stage, whereas the hydration of solid bonds gives alcohol products (exceptionally acetylene yields acetaldehyde ).
  • Hydroboration by disiamylborane to yield ketones or aldehydes
  • Oxidation cleavages of the triple-bond to give carboxylic acid products with oxidizing agents (potassium permanganate and ozone)

• Nucleophilile Addition by sp-hybrid carbon atoms of the triple-bond render alkynes (nitrile formation)
• Nucleophilile Reduction by solutions of sodium in liquid ammonia to trans-alkenes

The name of all alkynes end in “-yne” adding a prefix to indicate the location of the triple bond in the molecule.
