Markovnikov's rule states that functional groups tend to be added to the more substited carbon. For alcohol groups, Oxymercuration-demercuration of a double bond in and alkene results in the Markovnikov product with the hydroxyl group on the more substituted carbon. Hydroboration-Oxidation of a double bond in an alkene results in the Anti-Markovnikov product with the hydroxyl group on the less substituted carbon.
