Question

Draw the major organic product(s) of the following reactions including stereochemistry when it is appropriate.

Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a chemical reaction where a cyclohexyl-acetylene compound is undergoing a hydration reaction. The chemical structure on the left is a cyclohexane ring attached to an ethynyl group, resulting in cyclohexylacetylene. The reaction conditions above the arrow show the use of water (H2O), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and mercuric sulfate (HgSO4). This combination is typically used for the hydration of alkynes to form ketones. Summary of Reaction: - Reactant: Cyclohexylacetylene (cyclohexane ring with a C≡C-CH3 group) - Reagents: H2O, H2SO4, HgSO4 - Product: The product is usually a ketone formed by the Markovnikov addition of water across the triple bond. This reaction is an example of oxymercuration-demercuration, which converts the alkyne into a ketone through hydration.
