When treated with mercury (II) cations in water, these compounds produce ketones after a tautomerization.
When treated with mercury (II) cations in water, these compounds produce ketones after a tautomerization. Hot potassium permanganate cleaves this functional group into two carboxylic acids. Sodium amide can be used to deprotonate these compounds, because they contain the most acidic hybridization of carbon. Hydrogenation of this functional group can produce a trans product through a radical mechanism or a cis product using Lindlar's catalyst. Compounds with this functional group contain carbons with sp hybridization, and the simplest one is acetylene, which has formula C2H2. For 10 points, name these hydrocarbons, which have a carbon-carbon triple bond.
