Chapter 8, Problem 11PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The alkenes needed to synthesize the following alkylboranes and the stereochemistry involved in the formation of 1-methylcyclohexene is to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

Hydroboration: An organic reaction in which the double bonds of the alkenes or alkynes are broken by ${\text{BH}}_3$. In this reaction, the multiple carbon–carbon bond are replaced by the boron group.

When ${\text{BH}}_3$ is added to alkenes, they undergo hydroboration.

Enantiomers: Two molecules which are mirror images of each other and are non-superimposable.
