Hydroboration is a reaction in which the boron hydride acts as an electrophile, `R_2BH` adds to a carbon - carbon double which acts as a nucleophile

Organoborane compound The organoborane compound then is oxidised by treatment with hydrogen peroxide in aqueous sodium hydroxide to from alcohol. The OH group enters the carbon atom from the same side where the boron atom was present. Hence this reaction is highly regioselective and the boron atom attacheto that carbon atom which is less sterically hindred.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Hydroboration oxidation method follows, Antimerkovnikov product (alcohol), syn addition, no, rearrangement, both attaches the less hindered double bonded carbon so the product is .c.
