Question:

(a) Write the mechanism of Eq. 11.8a and account for the regioselectivity of the reaction.

(b) Explain what would happen in an attempt to synthesize the ether product of Eq. 11.8b by a Williamson ether synthesis.1-hexene + Hg(OAc) + (CH3)CHOH (solvent) AcOHg OCH(CH3)2 1-acetoxymercuri-2- isopropoxyhexane + H-OAC (11.8a)

AcOHg OCH(CH3)2 + NaBH4 H. OCH(CH3)2 2-isopropoxyhexane (91% yield) + Hg+borates (11.8b)
