In organic chemistry, the hydroboration–oxidation reaction is a two-step hydration reaction that converts an alkene into an alcohol. The process results in the syn addition of a hydrogen and a hydroxyl group where the double bond had been. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is the archetypal solvent used for hydroborations.
