OXYMERCURATION-DEMERCURATION

Method OF Preparation OF Alcohol by Acidic Hydration OF Alkene || OMDM (Oxymercuration and Demercuration) OF Alkenes || Kucherov Reaction

Addition of mercuric acetate in the presence of water is called as oxymercuration.The adduct obtained gives alcohol on reduction with NaBH_4 in alkaline medium.This is known as demercuration.Oxymercuration demercuration allows Markownikoff's addition of H, OH without rearrangement.The net result is the addition of H_2O Answer the following question : CH_3-undersetunderset(CH_3)(|)oversetoverset(CH_3)(|)(C)-CH=CH_2underset((ii)CH_3OH NaBH_4NaOH)overset((i)Hg(OAc)_2.THF)toAoverset(HI(Conc.))toB Product B is :

A Hydrocarbon X (M.F. C_4H_6 ) produces an aldehyde Y through Hydroboration Oxidation and a ketone Z through Oxymercuration Demercuration. Y and Z are functional isomers. X gives P when treated with excess of HOCl and Q when treated with excess of HCl. The correct statement is :

Which statement (s) is/are correct ? i. In oxymercuration and demercuration reaction, the electrophile is AcOHg^(o+) . ii. In this reaction, Hg^(+) is reduced to Hg^(0) . iii. In this reaction, Hg^(2+) is reduced to Hg^(+) iv. In this reaction, Hg^(2+) is reduced to Hg^(0) .
