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 to a carbonyl. Draw the structure of the enol formed in the conversion of 1-hexyne to hexanal. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
