Is there a way to turn alkenes into alkynes?

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

Not the other way round!

OpenStudy (abb0t):

There are a few methods. It really depends on your starting product. 1. Use a very strong base, such as NaNH\(_2\) in a 2:1 ratio to dehydrogenate twice. Or 2. halogenate the alkene/alkane forming a vicinal dihalide and then double elimination.
