Chapter 8.14, Problem 36ATS

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reagents that perform given transformation has to be identified.

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.  It follows anti-Markovnikov’s addition.

• Anti-Markovnikov’s rule: An unsymmetrical alkene reacts with hydrogen halide in which halide ions goes to the less substitution position of carbon-carbon double bond which provides alkyl halides.
