✒In Hydration of Alkynes Water may be added across triple bonds just as with carbon-carbon double bonds. The reaction of alkynes with water is catalyzed by mercuric salts. Notice that the product of hydration is a ketone, not an alcohol.

Explanation:
With the addition of water, alkynes can be hydrated to form enols that spontaneously tautomerize to ketones. The reaction is catalyzed by mercury ions and follows Markovnikov's Rule A useful functional group conversion for multiple -step syntheses is to hydrate terminal alkynes to produce methyl ketones.
