Alkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a β-hydroxyalkylmercury(ii) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. subsequent reduction with nabh4 reduces the c–hg bond to a c–h bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. draw the structure of the hg-containing compound and the final alcohol product formed in the following reaction sequence.
