Chapter 11, Problem 32P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Method of given transformations need to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Alkenes are converted to alcohols by methods such as acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes, oxymercuration–demercuration reactions, and hydroboration–oxidation reactions.

Hydroboration–oxidation reaction proceeds by anti-Markovnikov’s regioselectivity.

Alcohols are converted to the corresponding alkyl halides by reaction with thionyl chloride.

Dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides gives alkenes.
