Chemistry Question on Hydrocarbons

The product(s) obtained via oxymercuration (HgSO4+HgSO4)(HgSO_4+HgSO_4) of 1-butyne would be

A

B

CH3−CH2−CH2−CHOCH_3 -CH_2 -CH_2 -CHO

C

CH3−CH2−CHO+HCHOCH_3 -CH_2 -CHO+HCHO

D

CH3−CH2−COOH+HCOOHCH_3 -CH_2 -COOH+HCOOH

Answer

Explanation

Solution

Oxymercuration-demercuration brings about Markownikoff's addition of water as : CH3−CH2−C≡C−H+H2SO4  →HgSO4CH_3 - CH_2- C \equiv C - H + H_2SO_4 \, \, \xrightarrow{HgSO_4}
