Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of the alkene are to be written and the reagents needed to synthesize each of the given alcohols by oxymercuration-demercuration is to be specified.

Concept Introduction:

Oxymercuration-demercuration: An organic reaction in which the double bonds of alkenes or alkynes are broken by HgOAc. In this reaction, the multiple carbon–carbon bond has been replaced by OH group.

When HgOAc is added to alkenes, they undergo oxymercuration-demercuration and form alcohols.
