The reaction of methylphenylacetylene with mercuric acetate in acetic acid is nonstereospecific.It was established by x-ray crystallographic analysis that the product formed in the overwhelming amount had the trans structure and that its formation obeyed the Markovnikov rule.It was shown by 1H, 13C 199Hg spectroscopy that the cis and trans isomers against the Markovnikov rule were also formed.The most accurate test for stereochemical assignment are the 3JHgC and 2JHgC spin-spin coupling constants of the olefinic carbons and the 199Hg chemical shifts.
