To give:
The product expected from oxymercuration-demercuration of 1-pentene.
b)
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.

- (dehydrobromination) A chemist carried out an elimination reaction of 1,1-dimethyl-2- bromocyclopentane. The chemist expected the reaction to yield alkene Z as product. However, alkene Z DID NOT form. Instead, three alkenes were produced: one alkene was the major product, the other two alkenes was the minor products. What was the major alkene product that formed?
