Propyne is considered to be an unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon, these chemical substances tend to be extremely non polar. Water on the other hard is an extremely polar substance and thus would rather prefer to solvate itself than the non polar propyne. Using a solvent such as heptane or benzene would be much more likely to solvate propyne.Keeping the temperature of the solvent as cold as possible will maximize the potential to dissolve the gas. Propyne may also be "solvated" in a solution containing sodium amide (or stronger super base) as it forms the acetylide ion which will be soluble in the solvent the sodium amide is dissolved in.

Ethylene glycol is very soluble in water because the dipole-dipole forces among the OH bonds between ethylene glycol and water bring them together easily.
