(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The major products for the given reaction.

Interpretation: The major products for the given reactions are to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Oxymercuration-demercuration is one of the methods used to convert alkenes into alcohols. This type of reaction follows Markovnikov’s rule.

According to Markovnikov’s rule, the positive part of acid gets attached to that carbon atom in C=C bond which carries maximum number of hydrogen atoms and the negative part of acid will attach to that carbon atom in C=C bond which has minimum number of hydrogen atoms.

The general steps followed by Oxymercuration-demercuration reaction are stated below:

  • Formation of mercurinium ion.
  • Attack of water on mercurinium ion to give alcohol.
  • Demercuration

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The product that results when the product from part (a) is reduced by sodium borohydride (NaBH4).

Interpretation: The product that results when the product from part (a) is reduced by sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The general steps followed by Oxymercuration-demercuration reaction are stated below:

  • Formation of mercurinium ion.
  • Attack of water on mercurinium ion to give alcohol.

A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more reactants missing from the left-hand side, but there are no products missing from the right-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. • If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing reactants to the left-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + T G OH де OH This transformation can't be done in one step.
