JoinOMDM doubt hydrocarbons alkenes (continued)
I had posted a similar doubt a few weeks ago, but I couldn't find the relevant problems where I was getting stuck. I have it better framed now, so please help me out with this. It has been bugging me for the longest time.
1. 1st image. I opened the cyclic mercurinium ion from the more stable cationic character which I thought to be at the other site due to -I effect of Ph. I thought +R won't be considered since they're not conjugated. But I was wrong.
2. 2nd image. Here we don't look at the +M effect of Br. Since it exhibits -I effect, we open the ring from the other site, for more cationic character stability....

why and how does the oxygen get bonded here to benzene? I looked up the mechanism but it didnt made much sense of how the product is going to be rearranged that way
