Question

Question 31 of 33 Alkenes can be convertedto alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to forma hydroxyalkyl ercury Map acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH4 reduces the C bond to a C-H bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration Draw the structures of the Hg-containing compounds) and the final alcohol product(s) formed in the following reaction sequence, ormitting byproducts. Happlicable, draw hydrogen at a chirality center and indicate stereochemistry via bonds. raw 2 Neutral productís) of oxymercuration. Clearly show stereochemistry OH Hg OOCCH H3 H OTHF Alcohol productis) of demercuration. stereoisomers. if any. Select all that apply: The alcohol product(s)) of the reaction is characterized as being NaBH achiral. Previous Give Up & View Solution e Check Answer Nex Exit Hint

Explanation / Answer

the alcohol compound is Achiral because we dont have four different atoms attached to the carbon atom so it wont show any chiral property thats why it is achiral
