`HC-=CH` reacts with acetic acid in the presence of `Hg^(2g+)` ions to give

A

`overset(CH_3)overset(|)CH(CH_3COO)_2`

B

`{:(CH(CH_3COO)_2),(|),(CH(CH_3COO)_2):}`

C

`overset(CH_3)overset(|)CH_(2)(CH_3COO)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Reaction of acetic acid with acetylene is catalysed by `Hg^(2+)` salts.
`underset("Acetylene")(HC=CH) overset(CH_3COOH)underset(Hg(OOC CH_3)_2)rarrCH_(2)=underset("vinyl acetate")(CHOOC CH_3)overset(CH_3COOH)underset(Hg(OOC CH_3)_2)rarrCH_3-underset("ethylidene diacetate")(CH(OO C CH_3)_2)`
