Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product of the oxymercuration reaction between 1-hexene and mercuric acetate in H2O/THF solvent followed by treatment with NaBH4/NaOH is to be predicet. The explanation for the corresponding aswer is to be stated. The functional groups which are present on the corresponding product is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxymercuration reaction is a type of reaction in which an alkene gets converted to an alcohol. The mercuric acetate is used in the reaction as reagent. This reagent attacks the alkene to form a cyclic intermediate compound which further undergoes reduction to form alcohol.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The product of the oxymercuration reaction between 1-hexene and mercuric acetate in isopropyl alcohol solvent followed by treatment with NaBH4/NaOH is to be predicet. The explanation for the corresponding aswer is to be stated. The functional groups which are present on the corresponding product is to be stated.
