So far this text has discussed aldehyde and ketone synthesis from the ozolysis of alkenes, hydration of alkynes, oxidation of alcohols, and Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene rings.
Anti-Markovnikov addition of a hydroxyl group to an alkyne forms an aldehyde. The addition of a hydroxyl group to an alkyne causes tautomerization which subsequently forms a carbonyl.

The addition of a hydroxyl group to an alkyne causes tautomerization which subsequently forms a carbonyl. Markovnikov addition of a hydroxyl group to an alkyne forms a ketone.

Typically uses Jones reagent (CrO3 in H2SO4) but many other reagents can be used
