hydroboration-oxidation-of-internal-alkynes-produces-ketones-while-the-same-reac-1

Question

Hydroboration-oxidation of internal alkynes produces ketones while the same reaction for terminal alkynes produces aldehydes. Draw the final products when 1-cyclohexyl-1-propyne is subjected to hydroboration-oxidation. Describe why hydroboration-oxidation of an unsymmetrical internal alkyne results in a mixture of products.

Accepted Answer

Unsymmetrical internal alkynes always produce a mixture of two products because the two carbon atoms are equally substituted.

Answer

Unsymmetrical internal alkynes always produce a mixture of two products because the two carbon atoms are unequally substituted.

Answer

Unsymmetrical internal alkynes always produce a mixture of two products because the two carbon atoms are unequally substituted.

Answer
