please check my answers for both. Thank you

10. What synthetic goal is achieved by subjecting an alkene to an oxymercuration-demercuration reaction sequence? Markovnikov addinon of H2O, promoting skeletal rearrangement Markovnikov addition of H2O, preventing skeletal rearrangement C) anti-Markovnikov addition of H2O, promoting skeletal rearrangement D) anti-Markovnikov addition of H2O, preventing skeletal rearrangement 11. What is the expected major product for the following reaction sequence? 1. BH3-THF 2. H202, NaoH

Explanation / Answer

10) option B is correct (Oxymercuration - demercuration of alkene gives more substituted alcohol as major product.)

11) option B is correct (Hydroboration - oxidation of alkene is a syn addition and it adds BH2 and -H from same side.
