Question

**Title:** Hydroboration-Oxidation Reaction of an Alkene

**Content:**

**Objective:**
Determine the structure of the product formed when the given alkene is treated with the specified reagents.

**Reagents:**
1. \( \text{BH}_3, \text{THF} \)
2. \( \text{H}_2\text{O}_2, \text{HO}^- \)

**Initial Structure:**
The initial molecule is an alkene with the structure:
- A three-carbon chain.
- A double bond between the second (middle) and third carbon atom.
- A methyl group (\( \text{CH}_3 \)) attached to the first carbon.

**Explanation:**
The reaction involves a two-step process:

1. **Hydroboration:**
   - Borane (\( \text{BH}_3 \)) adds across the double bond. 
   - The addition is syn and occurs via an anti-Markovnikov path, meaning the boron attaches to the less substituted carbon.

2. **Oxidation:**
   - The organoborane intermediate undergoes oxidation with peroxide (\( \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \)) and a base (\( \text{HO}^- \)).
   - This step replaces the boron with a hydroxyl group (\( \text{OH} \)), resulting in the formation of an alcohol.

**Expected Product Structure:**
Draw the resulting alcohol structure post-reaction, ensuring the hydroxyl group is on the less substituted end of the original double bond.

**Note:**
Explore the reaction in the interactive 3D display mode for a detailed visualization of the structural changes.
