Question

Explain Hydroboration-Oxidation reaction.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The hydroboration-oxidation reaction is a two-step reaction that converts an alkene into a neutral alcohol by the net addition of water across the double bond. The hydrogen and hydroxyl group are added in a syn addition leading to the cis configuration.

Answer 2

$\huge\textcolor{red}{\texttt{Answer :-}}$

The addition of diborane to alkenes to form trialkylboranes followed by their oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide to form alcohols is called hydroboration-oxidation reaction.
