the question depicts the following rxn:

ketone Ph-COCH3 reacts with "excess D2O" and "DCl (catalytic).

I thought this reaction would mirror that of a hydration rxn, but I was wrong! grr😡. the solution says it's a rxn in which the D's replace the alpha hydrogens.

My Q: how would you know whether the answer is "hydration-like" or "substitution like"?

Ohh n side note...where the hell do these rxns come from..I've never seen this at all in my orgo class lol

Its funny because I just did that question minutes ago. Anything with alpha hydrogens turn me on, (well I guess other things also do!) Alpha hydrogen and just take em off!
To where these came from dont know and dont care just know the destroyer road maps!

Wow! you know how to make me_____
Anther alpha hydrogen problem- just take off all the alpha hydrogens and replace them with Cl.
