Bases in acid-base reactions

How are alkynes prepared Alkynes react as Br0nsted-Lowry bases in acid-base reactions with acids such as HBr or with aqueous acid. Alkynes react as Lewis bases with dihalogens such as Brg and in hydroboration reactions (see Chapter 10). Alkynes often come from reactions involving other alkynes, using the fact that a terminal alkyne is a weak acid, as introduced in Chapter 6 (Section 6.2.6). Treatment of a terminal alkyne with a base such as sodium... 

Amines react as bases in acid-base reactions and in elimination reactions.
