Question

When pent-2-yne reacts with mercuric sulfate in dilute sulfuric acid, the product is a
mixture of two ketones. Give the structures of these products, and use mechanisms to
show how they are formed

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C = O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in ketones is placed somewhere in the middle of the molecular structure, which means, the C=O is attached to two alkyl groups or benzene rings. Just like all other homologous series, the naming of ketones is done using a common suffix “-one”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O. Functional group of a ketone
