Answer:
heptan-3-one and heptan-2-one
Explanation:
In this case, we must remember what the products of this reaction are. An alkyne in the presence of HgSO4 and H2SO4 will produce a ketone. But, in the triple bond, we have two carbons, therefore the carbonyl group can be placed on any of the carbons of the triple bond.
In figure 1 we have the general reaction. At C = O it can be added to the carbon on the left (red carbon) or the carbon on the right (blue carbon).
Following this logic, for 2-heptyne the carbonyl group can be added to carbon 2 producing <u>heptan-2-one</u>. Similarly, the carbonyl group can be added to carbon 3 producing <u>heptan-3-one</u>. (See figure 2)
