Chapter 8, Problem 85IP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The functional group in compound one that reacts with ${\text{BH}}_{\text{3}}$ have to be identified and justified.

Concept introduction:

Hydroboration-oxidation reaction: Addition of $\text{–H and –OH}$ group across the double bond in presence of borane and hydrogen peroxide with base is known as hydroboration-oxidation reaction. Simple hydration in acidic media gives the addition product through carbocation intermediate.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The regiochemical and stereochemcial outcome of given reaction, and structure of compound 2 have to be predicted and drawn.
