Solvomercuration involves the addition of a mercuric acetate (Hg(OAc)2) or mercuric chloride (HgCl2) to an alkene. The reaction proceeds through a carbocation intermediate. The solvent typically used in these reactions is water or an alcohol. The addition of the mercury atom to the double bond is regioselective, and it forms a stable mercurinium ion.
