How will you convert:
(i) Propyne into acetone
(ii) Ethyne into propyne?
(i) Propyne into acetone: This can be done by the addiction of water in the presence of dilute sulphuric acid and Hg2+ ions.
(ii) Ethyne into propyne: This can be done by the following steps:
Arrange benzene, n-hexane and ethyne in decreasing order of acidic behaviour. Also give reason for his behaviour.
Give simple chemical test for the distinction of:
(i) Propyne and propane
(ii) But-1-yne and But-2-yne.
