Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which reagent can be used to convert an alkyne to a ketone?
  • Step 1: Start with an alkyne, which is a type of hydrocarbon with a triple bond between carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Prepare a solution that includes water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
  • Step 3: Add the alkyne to the solution of water and sulfuric acid.
  • Step 4: Allow the reaction to occur, which involves the addition of water across the triple bond of the alkyne.
  • Step 5: The reaction will convert the alkyne into a ketone, which is a type of compound with a carbonyl group (C=O) flanked by two carbon atoms.
