Propyne reacts with water in presence of mercuric sulphate and sulfuric acid to form acetone.
The reaction step is as follows:
Now , the product is extremely unstable in its en-ol form.
Hence , it undergoes tautomerization to form the keto structure of the compound.
So, the final product of this reaction is acetone.
