Interpretation:Rationale behind observed stereoselectivity in hydroboration of
Concept introduction:Hydroboration-oxidation involves sequence of two reactions. The hydroboration stage involves treatment of alkene with diborane that generates alkyl borane. In second stage, hydrogen peroxide in alkaline medium is used to oxidize the alkyl borane produced in step 1 that leads to synthesis of alcohols from
Anti-Markovnikov’s rule serves as basis of hydroboration. It states that negative part of reagent must go to the carbon that has less alkyl substituents or more

- Q1/Do as required: 1-The role of H2SO4 in Preparation of Nitrobenzene. Explain 2- Preparation of Nitrobenzene in cool phase. 3-In an experiment Hydrolysis of Acetanilide What color does the litmus paper change to and why? 4-When acetanilide reacts with bromine (x), acctanilide gives p-bromo acetanil 5- why used strongly alkaline (NaOH)in Preparation of Aniline?arrow_forwardReaction of -pinene with borane followed by treatment of the resulting trialkylborane with alkaline hydrogen peroxide gives the following alcohol. Of the four possible cis,trans isomers, one is formed in over 85% yield. (a) Draw structural formulas for the four possible cis,trans isomers of the bicyclic alcohol. (b) Which is the structure of the isomer formed in 85% yield? How do you account for its formation? Create a model to help you make this prediction.arrow_forwardBenzonitrile (C6H5CN) is reduced to two different products depending on the reducing agent used. Treatment with lithium aluminum hydride followed by water forms K, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 107 and the following IR absorptions: 3373, 3290, 3062, 2920, and 1600 cm-1. Treatment with a milder reducing agent forms L, which has amolecular ion in its mass spectrum at 106 and the following IR absorptions: 3086, 2820, 2736, 1703, and 1600 cm-1. L shows fragments in its mass spectrum at m/z = 105 and 77. Propose structures for K and L and explain how you arrived at your conclusions.arrow_forward
