propyne
Also known as 1-propyne, propine, allylene, methyl acetylene
Propyne (methylacetylene) is an alkyne with the chemical formula . It is a component of MAPD gas—along with its isomer propadiene (allene), which was commonly used in gas welding. Unlike acetylene, propyne can be safely condensed.

Propyne (methylacetylene) is an alkyne with the chemical formula . It is a component of MAPD gas—along with its isomer propadiene (allene), which was commonly used in gas welding. Unlike acetylene, propyne can be safely condensed.
==Production and equilibrium with propadiene== Propyne exists in equilibrium with propadiene, the mixture of propyne and propadiene being called MAPD:
