Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reaction ${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH-CH=CH}}_{\text{2}}+{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH}+\text{Hg}{\left(\text{OAc}\right)}_2\to \stackrel{{\text{NaBH}}_{\text{4}}}{\to }$ is to be completed.

Concept introduction:

In the oxymercuration, when the aqueous solvent is replaced by an alcohol, then it is alkoxymercuration reaction. In the alkoxymercuration reaction, ether is formed. This process is called alkoxymercuration-reduction.
