Chapter 8.4, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 8.4, Problem 7P , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

The product expected from oxymercuration-demercuration of 1-pentene is to be given.

Concept introduction:

In the oxymercuration-demercuration process, in the first step, the electrophilic addition of Hg2+ to the double bond in alkene takes place to give a mercurinium ion. In the next step the mercurinium ion reacts with water to yield an organomercury product. In the last step, NaBH4 removes mercury from the organomercury product to give a more highly substituted alcohol, corresponding to Markovnikov regiochemistry, as the product.

To give:

The product expected from oxymercuration-demercuration of 1-pentene.

Interpretation Introduction

b)

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 8.4, Problem 7P , additional homework tip  2

Interpretation:

The product expected from oxymercuration-demercuration of 2-methyl-2-pentene is to be given.

Concept introduction:

In the oxymercuration-demercuration process, in the first step, the electrophilic addition of Hg2+ to the alkene takes place to give a mercurinium ion. In the next step, the mercurinium ion reacts with water to yield an organomercury product. In the last step, reaction with NaBH4 removes mercury from the organomercury product to give a more highly substituted alcohol, corresponding to Markovnikov regiochemistry, as the product.

To give:

The product expected from oxymercuration-demercuration of 2-methyl-2-pentene.
