Question

Draw the products formed from 2-methyl-1-pentene by sequences (1.) and (2.).

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The mechanism for both the hydroboration of 2-methyl-1-pentene and acid-catalyzed hydration are shown i the image attached to this answer.

The both processes involve addition reaction. Hydroboration  is similar to hydration but the orientation of addition is anti - Markovnikov in nature.

The acid-catalyzed hydration of  2-methyl-1-pentene yields a minor product and a major product. The major product is  an accordance with Markovnikov  rule as shown by the reaction mechanism. The minor product is anti - Markovnikov.
