By hydrogenation, alkynes form alkenes and alkenes form alkanes but I need the reverse process i.e preparation of alkenes from alkanes and alkynes from alkenes...
I have found a reaction for dehydrogenation of alkenes at Wikipedia but I am not sure if it works for all alkenes: QUOTE
"n-pentane and isopentane can be converted to pentene and isopentene using chromium (III) oxide as a catalyst at 500 °C."
