Draw structural formulas for all alkenes that could be used toprepare the alcohol shown below by oxymercuration.

You do not have to consider stereochemistry.

Include only alkenes that will give the alcohol as the singlemajor product.

Alkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a ?-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH4 reduces the CâHg bond to a CâH bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. Draw the structures of the Hg-containing compound(s) and the final alcohol product(s) formed in the following reaction sequence, omitting byproducts. If applicable, draw hydrogen at a chirality center and indicate stereochemistry via wedge-and-dash bonds.
