Alkynes and compounds containing alkynes in their chemical structures are useful in various industries. For instance, in the fuel industry and plastics industry, alkynes like propyne and acetylene are used as starting materials in manufacturing plastic products.

an alkyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. The alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain one triple bond, the general formula of alkynes CnH2n+2 and the triple bond is known as the 'acetylenic bond'. Many alkynes have been found in nature.

The most common use of Ethyne is for making organic compounds like ethanol, ethanoic acid, acrylic acid, etc.

It is also used for making polymers and its beginning materials. ...

Ethyne is used for preparing many organic solvents.

Alkynes are commonly used to artificially ripe fruits.

Alkynes are nonpolar, unsaturated hydrocarbons with physical properties similar to alkanes and alkenes. Alkynes dissolve in organic solvents, have slight solubility in polar solvents, and are insoluble in water. Compared to alkanes and alkenes, alkynes have slightly higher boiling points.

he principal reaction of the alkynes is addition across the triple bond to form alkanes. These addition reactions are analogous to those of the alkenes. Hydrogenation. Alkynes undergo catalytic hydrogenation with the same catalysts used in alkene hydrogenation: platinum, palladium, nickel, and rhodium.
