b)
Interpretation:
The product expected from oxymercuration-demercuration of 2-methyl-2-pentene is to be given.
Concept introduction:
In the oxymercuration-demercuration process, in the first step, the electrophilic addition of Hg2+ to the alkene takes place to give a mercurinium ion. In the next step, the mercurinium ion reacts with water to yield an organomercury product. In the last step, reaction with NaBH4 removes mercury from the organomercury product to give a more highly substituted alcohol, corresponding to Markovnikov regiochemistry, as the product.
To give:
The product expected from oxymercuration-demercuration of 2-methyl-2-pentene.

- МСРВА Alkenes are oxidized to give epoxides on treatment with a peroxyacid, RCO3H, such as metachloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA). Peroxyacids transfer an oxygen atom to the alkene with syn stereochemistry, i.e. both C-O bonds form on the same face of the double bond, through a single step mechanism without intermediates. The oxygen atom farthest from the carbonyl group is the one transferred. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

The reaction occurs with Markovnikov regiochemistry, so the OH group adds to the more highly substituted carbon and the H adds to the less highly substituted carbon. The initial product of the reaction is a vinyl alcohol, also called an enol. The enol immediately rearranges to a more stable ketone via tautomerization. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions H-OH HO: Hjö: C=CH c=CH Hö Hg Hgarrow_forward
