disa [49]

Answer:

Two possible compounds are shown below- one with an exocyclic double bond and another one with an endocyclic double bond

Explanation:

Reaction of alkene with Hg(OAc)_{2} gives a complex of mercurous ion.

Then water molecule attacks this complex through S_{N}2 type reaction at more substituted position.

NaBH_{4} cleaves the resultant C-Hg bond and forms a C-H bond.

Two possible structures of an alkene is possible to yield 1-methylcyclohexanol which are shown below.
