[edit]what is terminal alkynes ? --- Some other examples would be nice. Vivacissamamente
- Terminal alkynes are alkynes that end (or begin, perhaps) with the triple bond and thus are also termed monosubstituted alkynes. Examples: 1-heptyne, 1-pentyne, 1-butyne, 1-nonyne, 1-decyne, etc. All have an alkyl group and a hydrogen attached to the carbon-carbon triple bond.24.197.125.202 21:54, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Merge proposal
[edit]Should the page "-yne" -yne be merged into this page? I would add the template that says "It has been suggested that the article "-yne" be merged into this one" but I don't know how. 58.169.71.106 (talk) 13:00, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- Seems like an obvious thing to do, but let's wait and see what others have to say.--Smokefoot (talk) 14:19, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yes: there's no sense having a stub. User:GKFXtalk 11:30, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- I tagged them, and I also support the merger. There's not a lot to say about "-yne", and "Nomenclature" is a standard part of chemical-structure articles. DMacks (talk) 15:57, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- Merge, -yne definitely relates to this page. We can just merge the two together. DSCrowned(Talk) 02:30, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- If the merge preserves the information about the etymology of the "yne" suffix and how to put an atom number with it, etc. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:30, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- No merge: maintain the '-yne' page as a purely nomemclature entry, similar to -ane, -ene and -ine pages. The latter (-ine) explicates the difference with -yne suffix. This Alkane page should be kept to designated the compound, properties,...
A merge or redirection would be more usefull between -the page Acetylide ( HC≡C−, carbanion of Ethynyl ) =>redirection to Ethynyl page ? -the page Ethynyl ( HC≡C– ) -the page Ethynyl_radical ( HC≡C·, reactive radical of ethynyl) => merge to Ethynyl page?

Pronounciation
[edit]Could there be an IPA to show the difference between alkyne and alkene? User:GKFXtalk 11:29, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
- I was wondering that. Alkene is definitively /əɫkiːn/ (schwa as l is nearly a syllabic L, dark l with k, e with magic e making /iː/, just as -ane is /eɪn/). Alkyne I have always heard it pronounced /əɫkiːːn/ as in a very long vowel, which is non-standard for English (unless at the dentist /ɑ::/). But then again y plus magic e is not a valid mix as y in Modern English behaves like a terse i /aɪ/ (mid word), a lax one /ɪ/ (end, blame French spelling) or rarely a /u/ (Greek), so /əɫkaɪn/ (rhyming with cytokine, not cane), but I have never heard it said that way. I should note that when I pronounce alkyne I think I pronounce it /əɫky:n/ (/y/ like German ü), but I think that is too much Old English as I say it with dude. --Squidonius (talk) 15:13, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
