Using the curved-arrow or fishhook notation, as appropriate, suggest mechanisms for each of the reactions given in Fig. P5.48.

For the following reaction, give the curved-arrow notation for only the reaction of the lkene with Hg(OAc)₂, and H₂O. Then show that the compounds that you obtain from this mechanistic reasoning can be converted into the observed products by the NaBHo reduction.
