Question
Chapter 8, Problem 71DSP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The major product formed by oxymercuration-demercuration of limonene is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Oxymercuration-demercuration is overall hydration of an alkene according to the Markovnikov’s rule.
In the major product, the hydroxyl group gets attached to that double bonded carbon atom which has less hydrogens attached.
There is no possibility of carbocation rearrangements in this reaction.
Less substituted

Some important notes:
• Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below.
• If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead.
• Be sure to use wedge and dash bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between major products that are
enantiomers.
