Question:
Name the alkyne below, and predict the product of its reaction with (i) {eq}\text{H}_{2} {/eq} in the presence of a Lindlar catalyst and (ii) {eq}\text{H}_{3}\text{O}^{+} {/eq} in the presence of {eq}\text{HgSO}_{4} {/eq}.

Reaction of Triple Bond With Lindlar Catalyst & Hydrogen:
A carbon-carbon triple bond gets reduced by hydrogen in the presence of the Lindlar catalyst into a carbon-carbon double bond. In this hydrogenation reaction, two hydrogen atoms add to the triple bond in a syn-fashion that results in the formation of a double bond with (Z)-configuration.
