Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The complete, detailed mechanism for the reaction, when the product in Problem 12.21 is treated with a basic solution of hydrogen peroxide, is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Hydroboration is addition of
As with the addition of
In step 7, the hydroxide ion coordinates to the boron atom of trialkylborate ester, followed by step 8, which is the hydrolysis that leads to the release of alkoxide ion as a leaving group. In step 9, the strongly basic alkoxide ion gains a proton from the water molecule to produce the first equivalent of the final alcohol. This trio of steps is then repeated twice as steps 10-15.
