Question

Hydroboration oxidation of 4-methyl-octene would give (A) 4-methyl octanol (B) 2-methyl decane (C) 4-methyl heptanol (D) 4-methyl-2-octanone

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Terminal alkenes react rapidly with diborane to form primary trialkyl boranes which on oxidation given primary alcohols. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/4f8c1d61fedfa5adbd6575fc9fec90e2-.png" /> (In general hydroboration oxidation involve the addition of water according to anti-Markownik off’s rule).
