Experiment 8 - Hydroboration Introduction A reaction mechanism is the step-by-step description of how a reaction actually occurs. Even though we often draw reactions as just starting materials and products, the process is much more complicated. Reactions mechanisms are one of the most important parts of organic chemistry because they help to explain why reactions occur in the way that they do. Additionally, they can often help us to find answers when reactions do not work in the way that we expect them to. There are numerous methods of probing the mechanism of a reaction, however we will be using some familiar techniques in this experiment. In this experiment, you will be exploring the hydroboration reaction and analyzing the results to verify some of mechanistic information presented in the lecture portion of this course. In this experiment you will be running a hydroboration in order to explore the regiochemical and stereochemical outcome of the reaction. Other hydration reactions of alkenes that we have learned (e.g. acid catalyzed and oxymercuration) often give the Markovnikov (the hydrogen adds to the less substituted carbon and the X group adds to the more substituted carbon) addition product. 3 H₂O*, H₂O, heat or 1. Hg(OAc)2, H₂O 2. NaBH4 However, we have learned that the hydroboration reaction class gives a product based on steric effects. This means that the hydroboration reaction generally yields the anti-Markovnikov addition product. In the case of 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene, this can be easily tested as the three possible products can be easily differentiated on the basis of the fingerprint regions of their infrared spectra. There are three possible products from this experiment: the Markovnikov addition product (1- methylcyclohexanol), and the two anti-Markovnikov addition products ((1S,2R)-2-methyl-1- cyclohexanol and (1R,2R)-2-methyl-1-cyclohexanol). Upon isolation of the product, you will be able to identify the regiochemistry of the product as well as the stereochemistry based on the infrared spectrum. 1. BH 3 THF 2.
