1 answer:
Answer:
B. 1-Butene rightarrow (1) BH3: THF (2)H202, OH-
Explanation:
In the hydroboration of alkenes, an alkene is hydrated to form an alcohol with anti-Markovnikov orientation.
the reagent BH₃:THF is the way that borane is used in organic reactions. The BH₃ adds to the double bond of an alkene to form an alkyl borane. Peroxide hydrogen in basic medium oxidizes the alkyl borane to form an alcohol. Indeed, hydroboration-oxidation converts alkenes to alcohols by adding water through the double bond, with anti-Markovnikov orientation.
