Similar to hydrohalogenation, the stereochemistry of hydration reactions is controlled by the geometry of the carbocation.
Draw the complete mechanism for the reaction above to show WHY a racemic mixture is formed.

Because rearrangements often produce a mixture of products, the synthetic utility of Markovnikov hydration reactions is somewhat limited.
OXYMERCURATION-DEMERCURATION is an alternative process that can yield Markovnikov products avoiding rearrangements
Oxymercuration-Demercuration
![Page 17: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of Alkenes. H—OH C C + OHOHOHOH C C H Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of Alkenes reaction is acid catalyzed; typical hydration medium](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84619/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
OXYMERCURATION begins with mercuric acetate.
How would you classify the mercuric cation? As a nucleophile or an electrophile?
As a Lewis acid or Lewis base?
Oxymercuration-Demercuration
![Page 18: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of Alkenes. H—OH C C + OHOHOHOH C C H Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of Alkenes reaction is acid catalyzed; typical hydration medium](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84619/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Similar to how we saw the alkene attack a proton previously, it can also attack the mercuric cation.
Resonance stabilizes the mercurinium ion. Can you draw a reasonable resonance hybrid?
Oxymercuration-Demercuration
![Page 19: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of Alkenes. H—OH C C + OHOHOHOH C C H Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of Alkenes reaction is acid catalyzed; typical hydration medium](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bf7d1a28abf838c84619/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The mercurinium ion is also a good electrophile, and it can easily be attacked by a nucleophile, even a weak nucleophile such as water.
NaBH4 is generally used to replace the –HgOAc group with a –H group via a free radical mechanism.

Regiochemistry withstanding, in order to understand thestereochemistry of the product, you must consider two things:
(1) Stereochemistry of the starting alkene (cis or trans;
Z or E)
(2) Stereochemistry of the addition (syn or anti)

Optically inactive reactants produce optically inactive products.(Racemic mixtures are optically inactive)
The correlary is that an optically active starting material MAY produce an optically active product depending on the mechanism.

To achieve anti-Markovnikov hydration, hydroboration-oxidation is often used.
Note that the process occurs in two steps.

MnO41- is similar to OsO4 but more reactive.
SYN dihydroxylation occurs with KMnO4 only under mild conditions (cold temperatures).
Diols are commonly further oxidized by MnO41-, and in addition
MnO41- is reactive toward many other functional groups as
well. It is very useful in qualitative analysis due to a pronounced color change.
