Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Alkenes react with mercuric acetate in a.mixture ofwater and tetrahydrofuran (THF) to produce (hydroxyalkyl) mercury compounds. These can be reduced to alcohols with sodium borohydride and water. The overall alkene hydration is not stereoselective because even though the oxymercuration step occurs with anti addition, the demercuration step is not stereoselective (radicals are thought to be involved), and hence, a mixture of syn and anti products results.

on oxymercuration-demercuation produces the major product:

Acid catalysed hydration of alkene gives alcohol. In this reaction addition of water takes place according to Markownikoff's rule. Since intermediate carbocation is formed in this reaction, rearrangement of carbocation takes place. In oxymercuration-demercuration reaction hydration of alkene takes place according to Markownikoff's rule. Oxymercuration demercuration is a better process than the catalytic hydration of alkene because in oxymercuration-demercuration, no rearrangement is possible. In hydroboration oxidation, hydration of alkene takes place as if it is according to anti-Markownikoff's addition. In hydroboration oxidation reaction rearrangement is not possible. Both in oxymercuration-demercuration and hydroboration oxidation intermediate carbocation are not formed. The product formed in the following reaction is
