Convert the double dond to a triple bond by electrophilic bromination of an alkene to form a vicinal dihalide

2-butene + Br2 --> 2,3-dibromobutane

2,3-dibromobutane + elimination --> 2-butyne.

How about if you just erase the first "e" and replace it with a "y" just like ya did?

Just kidding. The previous answer is correct. This is comic relief only...
