Propyne, on hydrolysis with HgSO4 and dil. H2SO4, gives propanone. CH3-C≡ CH+H2O xrightarrow[dil.

Q. On hydrolysis of propyne, with $H g S O_{4}$ and dilute $H_{2} S O_{4},$ , we get:

propanol

propanal

propenal

propanone

Propyne, on hydrolysis with $H g S O_{4}$ and dil. $H_{2} S O_{4},$ gives propanone. $C H_{3} - C \equiv C H + H_{2} O H g S O_{4} d i l . H_{2} S O_{4}$ $C H_{3} - O H ∣ C = C H_{2} tautomerise ⟷ Propanone-2 (acetone) C H_{3} - O ∣∣ C - C H_{3}$
