What is meant by hydroboration-oxidation reaction ? Illustrate it with an example.

Explanation

The addition of diborane to alkenes to form trialkylboranes followed by their oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide to form a ohols is called hydroboration-osidation reaction.

Fo example.
`underset("Propene")(3CH_(3)CH)=CH_(2) overset(BH_(3))underset(THF)to underset("Tri-n-propylborane")((CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2))_(3)B) overset(OH^(-)H_(2)O_(2))to underset("Propan-1-ol")(3CH_(3)CH_(2))CH_(2)OH+underset("Boric acid")(B(OH)_(3))`
