I know that with internal alkynes, H2, and Lindlar's catalyst, you can reduce the alkyne to an alkene without worrying about it being totally reduced to an alkane. However, I also know that alkynes are less reactive than alkenes. Why would an alkyne react with H2 and Lindlar's catalyst, but not an alkene (that was an alkyne before, but was reduced to an alkene)?
