Abstract
[reaction: see text]. Reaction of propargyl acetate with water catalyzed by Hg(OTf)2 afforded vinyl ketone as the major product along with a dimeric vinyl mercuric product and normal hydration products in small amounts. The reaction is an alternative to the Meyer-Schuster and Rupe rearrangement applicable to primary alcohols, although the mechanism is entirely different.
