    When propyne is treated with dilute sulphuric acid in presence of mercury (II) sulphate, the major product is:

    A)  acetone        

    B)         propene

    C)  propanol       

    D)         propanal

    E)  2-propanol

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    When propyne is treated with dilute\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]in presence of mercury (II) sulphate then acetone is formed. \[C{{H}_{3}}C\equiv CH+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[HgS{{O}_{4}}]{dill.\,{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}\] \[\underset{enolic\text{ }form}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}}}\,\underset{acetone}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  |\,| \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
