Chapter 8, Problem 62PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reagents required to complete the given transformations have to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Catalytic hydrogenation: It is the addition of molecular hydrogen in double bond in presence of metal catalyst.

Ozonolysis:

Alkene reacts with ozone which cleaves the double bond followed by work up with dimethyl sulphide forms ketone.

Hydroboration:

Hydroboration is the addition of a hydrogen-boron bond to the Carbon-Carbon, Carbon-Nitrogen, and Carbon-Oxygen double bonds and Carbon-Carbon triple bonds.

When alkene undergoes hydroboration using alkyl borane and hydrogen peroxide followed by hydrolysis which yields the alcohol. The formation of alcohol is depends on the less hindered carbon of the double bond.
