The image presents a hexagon representing cyclohexene with a double bond at one of the vertices.---### Reaction Mechanism: Cyclohexene with Mercury(II) Acetate in Water**Description:**Account for the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity observed when this compound (cyclohexene) is treated with Mercury(II) acetate \(( \text{Hg(OAc)}_2)\) in water \(( \text{H}_2\text{O})\).**Diagram Explanation:**- The diagram shows the structure of cyclohexene, represented by a hexagonal ring with a double bond between two of the carbon atoms.**Guidelines:**- Use wedge and hash bonds ONLY when needed to show reaction stereochemistry.- If the reaction produces a racemic mixture, just draw one stereoisomer.This setup is commonly used to illustrate the mechanism of oxymercuration-demercuration, which results in the addition of hydroxyl and mercury groups across the double bond with high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity.

Oxymercuration reaction of alkenes follows Markovnikov's rule in which the nucleophile attacks at…
