Solution

The correct option is D Hg(OAc)2/THFH2O, then NaBH4,OH
3,3dimethyl1butene reacts with Hg(OAc)2/THF+H2O and NaBH4,OH to form 3,3dimethyl2butanol.
This is the best method for production of 3,3dimethyl2butanol.
Oximercuration-demercuration reaction brings about markownikoff's hydration of alkene without rearrangement takes place.
CH3C(CH3)2CH=CH2+Hg(OAc)2/THF+H2ONaBH4,OH−−−−−−−CH3C(CH3)2CH2OHCH3
3,3dimethyl1butene 3,3dimethyl2butanol
So the answer is D.
