May 10, 2016 at 5:19 comment added Isac Hedén Taking $Y:=\mathrm{Spec}(\mathcal O(X))$ is probably interesting mainly for varieties $X$ that are "alomst" affine, for instance the punctured affine plane (a point is missing), or the blowup of $\mathbb A^2$ at the origin (an affine variety cannot contain $\mathbb P^1$). In both cases $Y$ should be $\mathbb A^2$. The morphism $X\to Y$ should be injective in the first case, and contract $\mathbb P^1$ to a point in the second. If $X=Y\setminus Z$ where Y is affine normal, and $Z$ of codimension at least two, we should have $Y=\mathrm{Spec}(\mathcal O(X))$, i.e. we can recover $Y$ from $X$.
