Q. The major product formed during the hydroboration-oxidation of 1-methylcyclopentene is-

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

During hydroboration-oxidation, addition of $\text{H}_{2}\text{O}$ across the double bond occurs anti to Markownikoff's rule and since the stereochemistry of addition is $\text{c}\text{i}\text{s}$ , therefore $$ $$ $\text{t}\text{r}\text{a}\text{n}\text{s}$ -2-methylcyclopentanol is formed

Solution
