AI Thread Summary
To react an alkyne with a ketone, it is necessary to first treat the alkyne with sodium amide (NaNH2) to generate a nucleophile. This step is crucial for facilitating the reaction with the ketone. The discussion also references a specific experiment involving tetraphenylcyclopentadiene and diphenylacetylene, which was conducted by heating in silicone oil without the use of bases, indicating that alternative methods may exist for alkyne reactions. However, general reactions between alkynes and ketones are not well-documented in the sources consulted.

Can some one send me link that shows how a alkyne will react with a ketone. I have tryed google but found nothing.

Well you'll probably need to treat the alkyne with NaNH2 first, in order for it to react as a nucleophile towards the ketone. Otherwise, I'm not aware of any particular reactions of an alkyne in general and a ketone.
 
We reacted tetraphenylcyclopentadiene with diphenylacetylene while heating with a blow torch in silicone oil. Thats it, there where no bases
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
