Alkynes- Intermediates
« on: October 08, 2013, 10:54:01 PM »
If the alkyne is internal, when adding a hydrogen halide, will it still form a pi-complex intermediate or is it it possible to form a carbocation?

If the product shows a trans addition of HX (which it generally does), what does that tell you?
