The product(s) obtained via oxymercuration $\left(\mathrm{HgSO}_{4}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}ight)$ of 1-butyne would be
  1. $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COCH}_{3}$
  2. $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CHO}$
  3. $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CHO}+\mathrm{HCHO}$
  4. $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{HCOOH}$

Solution



$1-$butyne on reaction with mercurous sulphide and sulphuric acid forms isobutyl alcohol as a product which undergoes tautomerism to form ethyl methyl ketone as a product. ,
