Direct conversion from alkenes to alkynes

Alkynes are widely used as feedstock chemicals and functional groups in organic chemistry. However, while the hydrogenation from an alkyne to an alkene is well established, typical methods for the reverse reaction—conversion of an alkene to an alkyne—are based on elimination chemistry reported in the 1860s and use forcing conditions (strong base or high temperatures).
