lab 1 organic chem 2 Hydroboration/Oxidation of 1-Octene Figure 1 Hydroboration/oxidation of an alkeneHydroboration of alkenes followed by oxidation is an extremely useful sequence in organic synthesis. The net result of the two step process is addition of water (hydration) across a double bond. In contrast to acid-catalyzed hydration, the reaction is regioselective for the […]
