Abstract

Conclusion The oxymercuration-demercuration of olefins has previously been shown to be a highly convenient synthetic method for the Markovnikov hydration of olefins. The present paper has demonstrated a wide range of reactivity accompanying variation of olefin structure. Accordingly, considerable selectivity in the monooxymerauration of dienes is expected. Steric factors play a major role in determining the reactivity of hydrocarbon ...
