Describe the following reactions with example: (i) Hydroboration oxidation of alkenes
The hydroboration-oxidation route is a two-step process for producing alcohols. The reaction proceeds in an Anti-Markovnikov fashion, with the hydrogen (from BH3BH3 or BHR2BHR2) attaching to the most substituted carbon in the alkene double bond and the boron attaching to the least substituted carbon.
