Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction of an alkyne with $HgSO_4$ and $H_2SO_4$ is a hydration reaction (Kucherov reaction).For an unsymmetrical alkyne like $C_6H_5 - C \equiv C - CH_3$,the addition of water follows Markovnikov's rule.The $OH^-$ group attaches to the more substituted carbon atom.Thus,the intermediate enol formed is $C_6H_5 - C(OH) = CHCH_3$.This enol tautomerizes to form the ketone,$C_6H_5 - CO - CH_2CH_3$ ($1$-phenylpropan$-1-$one).

$C_6H_5 - C \equiv C - CH_3 \xrightarrow{HgSO_4, H_2SO_4} A$
