(b)
Interpretation: The reagents required to prepare given ether via an alkoxymercuration-demercuration need to be identified.
Concept Introduction: In alkoxymercuration-demercuration reaction, ethers are prepared from alkene in which Markovnikov addition of alcohol takes place across an alkene. Here, -OR group is placed at a more substituted position and H is placed at a less substituted position.
The general reaction is represented as follows:
