Interpretation: The reason as to why a mixture of products should be expected with any unsymmetrical internal alkyne is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Hydroboration-oxidation reactions convert an alkyne molecule into ketone in the presence of disiamylborane and hydrogen peroxide through two step mechanism, whereas an alkene molecule in hydroboration-oxidation reaction is converted into alcohol by the addition of water.

- The hydroboration–oxidation of internal alkynes produces ketones.(a) When hydroboration–oxidation is applied to but-2-yne, a single pure product isobtained. Determine the structure of this product, and show the intermediates in itsformation.(b) When hydroboration–oxidation is applied to pent-2-yne, two products are obtained.Show why a mixture of products should be expected with any unsymmetricalinternal alkyne.arrow_forward(a) (i) 3-Methyl-2-butanol will react with sulphuric acid to give two isomeric alkenes in 3:1 proportions.(i) Write down the structures for these alkenes and assign appropriate systematic names to them. (ii) Name the most abundant isomer.

- Show the process of synthesizing 2-methyl2-cyclohexenone from 2-methyl cyclohexanone. Write down the stages of the monocyclic reaction process in detail.arrow_forwardOrganic chemistry student Everett has set up two separate electrophilic addition reactions with 2-butyne (shown below). In reaction (i) the alkyne is treated with 1 equivalent of HBr, which successful provides (Z)-2-bromo-2-butene. In reaction (ii) the alkyne is subjected to a two-step hydroboroation/oxidation sequence. Interestingly, Everett’s second reaction fails to provide the desired methyl ketone and instead has provided butan-2,3-diol. (a) Provide the structure of intermediate X form the first step of reaction (ii).
