Alkynes undergo hydroboration to give alkenylboranes, which can be oxidized to give carbonyl compounds with hydrogen peroxide. The net result of the two-step sequence is hydration, which gives aldehydes from terminal alkynes. In these reactions, the alkyne is oxidized to form an enol, which then tautomerizes toa carbonyl.Draw the structure of the enol formed in the conversion of 1-hexyne to hexanal.Click and drag to start drawing astructure.

An alkene is treated with OsO4 followed by H2O2. When the resulting diol is treated with HIO4, the only product obtained is an unsubstituted cyclic ketone with molecular formula C6H10O. What is the structure of the alkene?
A problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:
Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.
