The Major product of reaction is:
The Major product of reaction is:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C
Alkynes react with water in the presence of dilute sulphuric acid and mercuric sulphate at a temperature of 333 K. This results in the formation of carbonyl compounds through a keto-enol tautomerization of the more substituted enol. Acid-catalyzed hydration of internal alkynes can produce one or two ketones depending if the alkyne is symmetrical or not. And terminal alkynes produce only one ketone following the Markovnikov’s rule. Hence the correct option is (c).
