How would you prepare cis and trans alkene from alkyne? Give its mechanism.
Hydrogenation of an Alkyne to a Cis-Alkene
Because hydrogenation is an interruptible process involving a series of steps, hydrogenation can be stopped, using modified catalysts (e.g., Lindlar’s Catalyst) at the transitional alkene stage. Lindar’s catalyst has three components: Palladium-Calcium Carbonate, lead acetate and quinoline. The quinoline serves to prevent complete hydrogenation of the alkyne to an alkane. Lindlar’s Catalyst transforms an alkyne to a cis-alkene.
R-C≡C-R + H2 & Lindlar catalyst ——> cis R-CH=CH-R
Lindlar's Catalyst:

Like alkenes, alkynes readily undergo catalytic hydrogenation, either to cis or trans alkenes, or to alkanes, depending on the reaction
