What functional group would be expected to be found in the major, and final, organic product upon completion of the reaction between 1-hexyne and a mixture of mercuric sulfate and aqueous sulfuric acid?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction between 1-hexyne and a mixture of mercuric sulfate and aqueous sulfuric acid is an example of oxymercuration-demercuration, which typically converts alkynes to ketones. This process adds water across the triple bond in a Markovnikov fashion without the rearrangement that can occur in direct hydration reactions.
