Water adds to acetylene under acid catalysed conditions to give hydroxyethene which tautomerises to acetaldehyde.
As an industrial organic synthetic method, this process is not longer commonly used due to the explosive hazard of acetylene.Industrial Organic Chemistry, 3rd. Ed. K. Weissermel, H.-J. Arpe, VCH (1997)
