Alkynes undergo hydroboration to give alkenylboranes, which can be oxidized to give carbonyl
compounds with hydrogen peroxide. The net result of the two-step sequence is hydration, which gives
aldehydes from terminal alkynes.

The oxidation step involves an enol intermediate. Using the following mechanism as a guide, draw the
structure of the enol that is formed in the conversion of 1-hexyne to hexanal. Click the "draw
