Question
Chapter 10, Problem 6E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The major product for the following reaction should be predicted.
Concept Introduction :
- The reaction of an
alkene with borane in the presence of tetrahydrofuran followed by the reaction with hydrogen peroxide in an alkaline medium lead to the formation of an alcohol. This reaction is called hydroboration oxidation. The product is formed according to Anti-Markovnikov rule which states that the negative part of the adding molecule gets attached to that carbon which consist of a greater number of hydrogen atoms. - The reaction of an alkene with mercuric acetate in the presence of tetrahydrofuran and water followed by the reaction with sodium borohydride in an alkaline medium lead to the formation of an alcohol. This reaction is called oxymercuration-demercuration. The product is formed according to Markovnikov rule which states that the negative part of the adding molecule gets attached to that carbon which consist of lesser number of hydrogen atoms.
