Vedclass · Answer

(D) $1$. Hydration of ethyne $(CH \equiv CH)$ in the presence of $Hg^{2+}/H_2SO_4$ (Kucherov reaction) yields acetaldehyde $(CH_3CHO)$ as product $B$.$2$. Reaction of acetaldehyde $(CH_3CHO)$ with Grignard reagent $(CH_3MgX)$ followed by hydrolysis $(H_2O)$ yields isopropyl alcohol $(CH_3-CH(OH)-CH_3)$ as product $C$.$3$. Oxidation $([O])$ of isopropyl alcohol (a secondary alcohol) yields acetone $(CH_3-CO-CH_3)$ as the final product $D$.

$CH \equiv CH$ $\xrightarrow{Hg^{2+}/H_2SO_4} B$ $\xrightarrow{CH_3MgX/H_2O} C$ $\xrightarrow{[O]} D$. What is the final product $D$?
