    Hydration of which one of the following yields a ketone

    A)  Propyne       

    B)  Ethene

    C)  Prppene       

    D)  Ethyne

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Alkynes on hydration give ketones except ethyne that gives aldehyde. Hence, propyne gives ketone. \[C{{H}_{3}}-C=CH\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}O}C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{OH}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,=C{{H}_{2}}\] \[\xrightarrow{\text{Tautomerises}}\underset{\text{ketone}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,=C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
