Hydroboration oxidation of 4-methyl octene would give

A

4 methyloctanol

B

2-methyldecane

C

4-methylheptanol

D

4-methyl-2-octanone

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
To obtain alkan-1-ol from alk-1-ene, the following procedure should be adopted. Alk-1-ene is treated first with diborane. The boron compound formed is then reacted with `H_2O_2` to get the desired alcohol (hydrobration oxidation).

The overall result of the above reaction, appears to be anti-Markownkoff's addition of water (hydration) to a double bond (Hydroboration oxidation )
