Solution
The correct option is DHg(OAc)2/THF−H2O, then NaBH4,OH− 3,3−dimethyl−1−butene reacts with Hg(OAc)2/THF+H2O and NaBH4,OH− to form 3,3−dimethyl2−butanol.
This is the best method for production of 3,3−dimethyl2−butanol.
Oximercuration-demercuration reaction brings about markownikoff's hydration of alkene without rearrangement takes place.
