In which reaction, Diborane, (BH3)2 reacts with alkene followed by reaction with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and a base to give alcohol? |
Hydroboration reaction Hydroboration-oxidation reaction Hydroboration- reduction reaction None of the above |
Hydroboration-oxidation reaction |
Diborane (BH3)2 reacts with alkenes to give trialkyl boranes as addition product. This is oxidized to alcohol by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH). |
