Draw the ketone that is expected to be formed when the alkyne shown below undergoes the hydroboration-oxidation reaction.
What product is formed in a reaction of the given alkyne with Sia2BH in THF followed by H2O2, NaOH, H2O?
What is the product of the given reaction?
Determine the major product formed when 3-hexyne reacts with R2BH in THF, followed by H2O2, OH−, and H2O.
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.
For the compound shown below, predict products that result when it undergoes the following:
a. Acid-catalyzed hydration
b. Hydroboration-Oxidation
