Talk:Ynol

ynediol = acetylenediol?

Aren't compounds like HO-CC-CC-OH or HO-CC-CH₂-CC-OH also called ynediols? My example compounds both are not very stable, but there could be other more complicated compounds containing two CC-OH groups at different places. And what about a simple diol containing a triple bond (like HO-CH₂-CC-CH₂-OH)? These theoretically are also yne-diols. (I left out the triple bonds in the formulas because I don't know how to write them) --79.243.235.221 (talk) 17:09, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A ynediol is a compound containing two OH groups on the carbons of the SAME triple bond - therefore, only acetylenediol can be a ynediol. Whoop whoop pull up ^{Bitching Betty | Averted crashes} 18:40, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alkynols and Ynols

In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkynol appears the statement "[Alkynols] are not identical to the Ynols". But in the current article the statement "... an ynol (or alkynol) ..." appears, making ynols and alkynols identical to each other. Sounds contradictory.98.149.97.245 (talk) 18:44, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
