Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Two possible alkene reactants that can undergo oxymercuration-reduction to yield 2-methylpentan-2-ol are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The conversion of an alkene to alcohol can be carried out by oxymercuration-reduction reaction. The product of oxymercuration-reduction follows Markovnikov’s rule. The hydroxyl group (OH) is added to the more substituted carbon atom of the initial double bond. From the position of hydroxyl group to the more substituted carbon atom of the double bond can be determined. The other carbon atom would be a less substituted carbon.
