2-methyl-2-hexanol was prepared by reacting an alkene with either hydroboration- oxidation or oxymercuration-reduction. Draw the structure of the alkene that was used to prepare the alcohol in highest yield. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Indicate the method of preparation by drawing either BH3 (for hydroboration- oxidation), or Hg (for oxymercuration-reduction), in a separate sketcher. • If there is more than one alkene that can be used for a given method, draw all of them. • If either hydroboration-oxidation or oxymercuration-reduction can be used, just give the structures for one method. Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. .
