The reaction (C ) to (D) and (E ) is called alkoxy mercuration-demercuration reaction. Which of the following statement, is wrong about the reaction ?

A

In the first step, alkoxy meruration occues, i.e., `Hg(Oac)_(2)` or `Hg(OCOCF_(3))_(2)` and `ROH//ArOH` add to the double bond.

B

In the second step, demecuration occurs, i.e., `NaBH_(4)` reduces, `HgOAc` or `Hg(OCOCF_(3))` group to hydrogen.

C

The net reaction is addition of `ROH//ArOH` accor-ding to Markovnikov's rule.

D
