Oxymercuration-Demercuration is a two step pathway used to produce alcohols. The reaction proceeds in a Markovnikov manner and is stereospecific (anti addition). The two steps of oxymerecuration-demercuraton takes place on opposite faces of the double bond creating trans stereochemistry

This mechanism is similar to the previous electrophilic addition reactions. ... During the first step of this mechanism, the pi electrons form a bond to mercury while the lone pair on the mercury simultaneously bonds to the other vinyl carbon creating a mercurium ion bridge
