2 ways to synthesize alkynes?
1. Nucleophilic attack on either electrophile - a) primary alkyl halide (Sn2) or b) carbonyl cpd (addition --> alcohol)

2. double dehydrohalogenation of a dihalide
How to make an acetylide ion?
React terminal alkyne w/ strong base NaNH2
Acetylenic hydrogen?
A hydrogen on a terminal alkyne (if internal alkyne, no acetylenic hydrogen)
How to make a longer alkyne
acetylide ion (terminal alkyne + NaNH2) + primary alkyl halide
OR
addition rxn --> alcohol of carbonyl cpid
Carbonyl cpd --> alcohol?
1. nuc attack (can be by acetylide ion)
2. protonation (w/ water or dilute acid)
Terminal alkyne --> alcohol?
(reagents)
1. NaNH2
2. H2C--O (carbonyl cpd)
3. H30+ or H20
aldehyde + acetylide ion? (+ protonation)
-->
2* alcohol: two R groups = original R on aldehyde, R on acetylide
ketone + acetylide ion? (+ protonation)
-->
3* alcohol: 3 R groups = 2 originals on ketone + 1 on acetylide
elimination --> alkyne?
dehydrohalogentation - remove 2 molecules of HX from a dihalide
Conditions to get:

dihalide --> alkyne?
strongly basic (ex. molton or alcholic KOH + heat, or NaNH2 in water)
(dehydrohalogenation --> vinyl halide, if very basic conditions can occur again --> alkyn)
Dihalide --> vinyl halide?
(reagents)
base, -HX
Vinyl halide --> alkyne?
base, -HX
Rate limiting step of dihalide --> alkyne?
2nd (vinyl halide --> alkyne)
dihalide --> alkyne?
(reagents)
KOH (fused/alcholic) @ 200*C
OR
NaNH2 @ 150*C, H2O
