Question

Write chemical equation for the following reaction:

Hydroboration-oxidation reaction

Answer 1

Alkene 

1. \[\ce{BH3 - THF}\] (Primary alcohol)
2. \[\ce{H2O2, OH-}\]

\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{\underset{Propene}{3CH3 - CH = CH2} + H - H - BH2 ->[THF] (CH3 - CH - CH2)3B ->[H2O/OH-] \underset{Propanol}{3CH3 - CH2 - CH2OH} + \underset{Boric acid}{H3BO3}}\\
|\phantom{......}\\
\ce{H}\phantom{......}\\
\end{array}\]
