Alkene on
Hydration yield
Alcohols. When
Asymmetric Alkenes are treated with water in the presence of acid they follow
Markovnikoff rule, and the Hydrogen of incoming reagent goes to that carbon which contain more number of Hydrogen atoms. The reverse (
Anti-Markovnikoff) is done by carrying out Hydroboration reaction.In this case the Hydrogen atom of incoming reagent goes to that carbon which contains less number of Hydrogen atoms. In this reaction both -H and -OH adds in
syn fashion. The Hydroboration reaction of
Chloestrol is shown below,
Answer:
0.00230 = <u>3 significant figures</u>
Explanation:
Significant digits or figures of a given number are the digits or figures that have meaning and contributes to the precision of the given number.
Therefore, <u>0.00230 = 3 significant figures.</u>
Reason: The non-zeros figures and the trailing zero after the decimal are significant. Whereas, all the leading zeros are not considered significant.
