The effect of a remote substituent on the regioselectivity in the oxymercuration of unsymmetrical substituted norbornenes has been investigated. Moderate to high levels of regioselectivity were observed with both exo-and endo-substituents at C-2 of norbornenes.
In 1939 Lucas, et al., 1 proposed that the oxymercuration of olefins occurred by a trans addition and that the trans addition proceeded via mercurinium ion intermediates. Recent numerous investigations2 of the oxymercuration of unstrained olefins support the proposed formation of an intermediate mer
