TRUE OR FALSE I. The reaction of BH3 with 2-methylbut-2-ene results in the attachment of a hydroxyl group, OH, on the third carbon since this carbon is less substituted. II. The reduction of an alkyne using a strong base such as LiNH2 gives an alkane when 2 equivalents of hydrogen gas is added. III. Hydrobromination of an alkene follows anti-Markovnikov’s rule in the presence of a peroxide.
