Abstract
In the presence of catalytic quantities of mineral acid the oxymercuration of olefins is a thermodynamically controlled process, equilibration occurring by reversible oxymercuration–deoxymercuration, and at least for the system studied, mercurinium ions are not kinetically important intermediates in oxymercuration.Keywords
