\r\n
\r\n\r\nAfter completing this section, you should be able to\r\n
    \r\n \t
  1. identify hydroboration (followed by oxidation) as a method for bringing about the (apparently) non-Markovnikov addition of water to an alkene.<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. write an equation for the formation of a trialkylborane from an alkene and borane.<\/li>\r\n \t
  3. write an equation for the oxidation of a trialkylborane to an alcohol.<\/li>\r\n \t
  4. draw the structure of the alcohol produced by the hydroboration, and subsequent oxidation, of a given alkene.<\/li>\r\n \t
  5. determine whether a given alcohol should be prepared by oxymercuration-demercuration or by hydroboration-oxidation, and identify the alkene and reagents required to carry out such a synthesis.<\/li>\r\n \t
  6. write the detailed mechanism for the addition of borane to an alkene, and explain the stereochemistry and regiochemistry of the reaction.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
