Alkynes are located in the redox scale at a higher oxidation state than alkenes. Therefore,
alkenes can be obtained by reduction of alkynes
. The reduction can be performed by different methods with different stereochemical outcome:
The mechanism of these reactions will be detailed in the alkyne's chapter.
