Chapter 8, Problem 12PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of Bis(3-methyl-2-butyl) borane is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Hydroboration: An organic reaction in which the double bonds of alkenes or alkynes are broken by ${\text{BH}}_3$ is called hydroboration. In this reaction, the multiple carbon–carbon bonds are replaced by the boron group which ultimately leads to the formation of an alcohol.

When ${\text{BH}}_3$ is added to alkenes, they undergo hydroboration and form alkylboranes which later forms alcohol.
