explain the mechanism of oximercuration-oxidation of alkenes

Answers

Answered by AbhiThakur07

Explanation:

In oxymercuration, the alkene reacts with mercuric acetate (AcO–Hg–OAc) in aqueous solution to yield the addition of an acetoxymercury (HgOAc) group and a hydroxy (OH) group across the double bond. Carbocations are not formed in this process and thus rearrangements are not observed.
