The correct Answer is:
To determine which reaction involves anti-addition, we need to analyze the given options and identify the mechanism of each reaction. Anti-addition refers to a process where two substituents add to opposite sides of a double bond, resulting in a trans configuration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactions**: We have four reactions to analyze. The first step is to write down the reactions clearly and identify the reactants and products. 2. **Analyze Each Reaction**: - **Reaction 1**: CH2=CH2 + H+ → CH3-CH2+ (carbocation formation) + H2O (nucleophile attack). - This reaction does not show anti-addition because the nucleophile can attack from either side of the carbocation. - **Reaction 2**: CH3-CH=CH2 + H+ → CH3-CH(+)-CH2 (carbocation formation) + X- (nucleophile attack). - Similar to the first reaction, the nucleophile can attack from either side of the carbocation, indicating no anti-addition. - **Reaction 3**: CH3-CH=CH2 + Hg(OAc)2 + H2O → Non-classical carbocation formation followed by nucleophile attack. - In this reaction, after the formation of the non-classical carbocation, water attacks from the opposite side of the leaving group (HgOAc), which is characteristic of anti-addition. - **Reaction 4**: B2H6 addition to alkenes. - This reaction is known for syn-addition, where both substituents add to the same side of the double bond. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the reaction that involves anti-addition is the third one (mercuration-demercuration). ### Final Answer: The reaction involving anti-addition is the third option: the reaction of CH3-CH=CH2 with Hg(OAc)2 followed by water. ---
