Predict the correct intermediate and product in the following reaction $\begin{aligned} &H_{3}C-C \equiv CH \xrightarrow[H_{2}O, H_{2}SO_{4}]{HgSO_{4}} \text{intermediate} \rightarrow \text{product}\\ &\phantom{H_{3}C-C \equiv CH \xrightarrow[H_{2}O, H_{2}SO_{4}]{HgSO_{4}}} (A) \rightarrow (B) \end{aligned}$
  1. A :  H 3 C - C | SO 4 = CH 2 B :  H 3 C - C || O - CH 3
  2. A :  H 3 C - C | OH = CH 2 B :  H 3 C - C | SO 4 = CH 2
  3. A :  H 3 C - C || O - CH 3 B :  H 3 C - C CH
  4. A :  H 3 C - C | OH = CH 2 B :  H 3 C - C || O - CH 3

Solution


A=prop-1-en-2-ol , B=Acetone
