Answer & Explanation: Reduction of Alkynes Using Sodium and Ammonia (Na / NH3) Gives Trans Alkenes. ... This process is called dissolving metal reduction. It's a different process than catalytic hydrogenation. In this reaction, electrons from Na metal sequentially add to the alkyne, resulting in an anion that is protonated by the NH3 solvent.
