    Hydration of which one of the following yields a ketone?

    A)  Propyne                             

    B)  Ethene

    C)  Propene                            

    D)  Ethyne

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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