Compound A (C7H11Br) is treated with magnesium in ether to give B (C7H11MgBr) which reacts violently with D2O to give 1-methylcyclohexene with a deuterium atom on the methyl group (C). Reaction of B with acetone (Ch3COCH3) followed by hydrolysis gives D (C10H18O). Heating D with concentrated H2SO4 gives E (C10H16), which reacts with 2 equivalents of Br2 to give F (C10H16Br4).

OH 1. Hg(OAc)2, H2O 2. NaBH4 .CH3 .CH3 H2C H3C° Acid-catalyzed addition of water to an alkene yields an alcohol with Markovnikov regiochemistry. The electrophilic H* adds to the sp2 carbon with the most hydrogens to yield the most stable carbocation intermediate, which then adds water to give the product alcohol. Because a carbocation intermediate is formed, rearrangements can occur prior to the addition of water. To avoid the possibility of rearrangement and still give a Markovnikov alcohol, alkenes can instead be treated with mercury(II) acetate in aqueous THF and then subsequently reduced with sodium borohydride. This reaction proceeds through a cyclic mercurinium ion intermediate which cannot rearrange. Water adds to the cyclic intermediate at the most substituted carbon to give an organomercury alcohol. The reduction step with sodium borohydride is complex and involves radicals. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing…
