Reduction of an alkyne to the double bond stage can yield a cis alkene or trans alkene (except in cases where triple bond is at the end of the chain ) Reduction of alknes with sodium or lithium in liquid NH_(3) yields predominantly trans alkene. Hydrogenation of alkynes with Lindlar's catalyst or a nickel boride called P_(2) catalyst yeilds is alkene (as high as 98%) If Pd/C/H_(2) is used in the absence of a catalyst poison, two equivlanet of H_(2) are added forming alkanes.
