In this video we'll go over the commonly taught mechanism of the alkyne hydration giving the enol intermediate which then undergoes the keto-enol tautomerism to give the final product--ketone. 00:00 Intro 00:48 Acid-catalyzed mechanism 02:23 Keto-enol tautomerism 04:36 Mechanism overview 05:19 Shortcut 06:50 Mercury-catalyzed mechanism 🧪 More tutorials, practice questions, and organic chemistry workbooks 🧪 https://www.organicchemistrytutor.com... 📝 Download the Organic Chemistry Study Notes 📝 https://www.organicchemistrytutor.com... 👋 Connect with me on social media: Instagram: / ochemtutor Discord: / discord
