Question

What is meant by hydroboration -- oxidation reaction. Illustrate with an example.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The addition of borane followed by oxidation is known as the hydroboration-oxidation reaction. For example, propan-1-ol is produced by the hydroboration-oxidation reaction of propene. In this reaction, propene reacts with diborane (BH3)2 to form trialkyl borane as an addition product.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ur answer... buddy ❤❤

Explanation:

Hydroboration-oxidation reaction is the addition of borane followed by oxidation.

For example, propene on hydroboration-oxidation gives propan-1-ol.

The reaction of propene with diborane gives trialkyl borane as an addition product.

Oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide gives propan-1-ol.
