Question
Explain the process of hydroboration-oxidation of alkenes.
✓
Answer
i. Alkenes with diborane in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent undergo hydroboration to form trialkylborane, which on oxidation with alkaline peroxide forms primary alcohol.
ii. The overall reaction gives anti-Markovnikov’s product from unsymmetrical alkenes.
ii. The overall reaction gives anti-Markovnikov’s product from unsymmetrical alkenes.
