Step by step solution

01

Oxymercuration-Demercuration

In an Oxymercuration-Demercuration reaction, the alkenes are treated withand in the second step, the product is treated with.It results in Markovnikov addition product in which OH is attached to that carbon which is highly substituted.

02

The product obtained from oxymercuration-demercuration of alkene

a) In this alkene, oxymercuration results in the Markovnikov addition of to an alkene. Here, the OH is added to that carbon with less hydrogen, and H is added to that carbon with more hydrogen attached.
