Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The conversion of propyne (, an alkyne) to propene (, an alkene) is a partial hydrogenation reaction. This controlled reduction requires a poisoned palladium catalyst, commonly known as Lindlar's catalyst ( deactivated with lead or quinoline), to prevent over-reduction all the way to an alkane. Ordinary would reduce it completely to propane ().
