What kind of product would result from the reduction of an internal alkyne using hydrogen gas and Lindlar's catalyst?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reduction of an internal alkyne using hydrogen gas and Lindlar's catalyst results in a product with cis-stereochemistry. Lindlar's catalyst allows for partial reduction of the alkyne to form a Z-alkene, which has the two substituents on the same side of the double bond. This results in a cis-stereochemistry.
