Alkynes do not react directly with aqueous acid as do alkenes, but will do so in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate as a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction occurs with Markovnikov
regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called
an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization.
Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
