In practice, the mercury adduct product created by the oxymercuration reaction is almost always treated with sodium borohydride (NaBH 4) in aqueous base in a reaction called demercuration. In demercuration, the acetoxymercury group is replaced with a hydrogen in a stereochemically insensitive reaction [6] known as reductive elimination. The ...
Alkene oxymercuration-demercuration: Stereospecific: Can only be anti addition – water kicks out the mercury from underneath the intermediate three-membered ring. The reaction is considered Markovnikov as it results in water addition with same regiospecificity as a direct hydration reaction. Alkene hydroboration-oxidation
Conversion of 2,5-dimethylhexyne-2,5-diol to 2,2,5,5-tetramethylte-trahydrofuran-3-one. Mercury sulfate, as well as other mercury(II) compounds, are commonly used as catalysts in oxymercuration-demercuration, a type of electrophilic addition reaction that results in hydration of an unsaturated compound.
Tetrakis(acetoxymercurio)methane [5]. In part reflecting the strength of the C-Hg bond, organomercury compounds are generated by many methods. [6] Indeed, mercury may adsorb onto laboratory glassware, such that laboratories performing mercury experiments may have difficulty avoiding C–Hg bond formation.
Mercury(II) acetate, also known as mercuric acetate is a chemical compound, the mercury(II) salt of acetic acid, with the formula Hg(O 2 CCH 3) 2.Commonly abbreviated Hg(OAc) 2, this compound is employed as a reagent to generate organomercury compounds from unsaturated organic precursors.
If you’ve ever had a string of nights in which you didn’t sleep well, you know what it’s like to yearn for a good snooze so much that you’ll do nearly anything to make it happen.

Although this approach diluted the bad news for Janssen, there were still two problems. First, the gynecomastia rates remained high. Second, one table showed a statistically significant relationship between elevated prolactin and breasts among boys who had been taking the drug for eight weeks. In other words, it looked like causation had been ...
