[00:00:00]Number 11, which statement is true for an alkene and oxymercuration reduction?

[00:00:07]Well, we have to remember what this reaction even was.

[00:00:11]So, it looks like this. These are our reagents. This turns our alkene into an alcohol.

[00:00:18]Recall it follows Markovnikov's rule.

[00:00:20]And when there is stereochemistry, it's going to be anti-addition.

[00:00:25]So, now that we know Markovnikov's rule, anti-addition, we can answer this.

[00:00:30]Knowing that it will follow Markovnikov's rule.

[00:00:33]And it's anti-addition. So, C.

[00:00:37]That was one we had to know the rules for.
