(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.
  • Demercuration

All of these compounds would be produced (I think).  In my book, I don't see any rules about yield in this case, like explaining that one product would be present in less yield for this reason or that reason.  Please explain why some of these produce less yield than others.
