The correct Answer is:
To determine the missing structures A and B in the reaction sequence involving the alkene CH₃-CH=CH₂, we will analyze the hydroboration-oxidation reaction step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the starting material The starting material is the alkene CH₃-CH=CH₂. This is propene, which has a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms. ### Step 2: Hydroboration with B₂H₆ When propene reacts with diborane (B₂H₆), hydroboration occurs. In this reaction, the boron atom adds to the less substituted carbon atom of the double bond. - **Mechanism**: The boron atom from B₂H₆ will preferentially add to the terminal carbon (the less substituted carbon), resulting in the formation of an alkyl borane. The structure of A after hydroboration will be: \[ \text{A: CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2\text{B}(\text{H})_2 \] This structure indicates that the boron atom is attached to the primary carbon, resulting in the formation of tri-n-butylborane. ### Step 3: Oxidation with H₂O₂ and NaOH The next step involves the oxidation of the alkyl borane (structure A) using hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). - **Mechanism**: In this step, the boron atom is replaced by a hydroxyl group (-OH) through an oxidation process. The reaction leads to the formation of an alcohol. The structure of B after oxidation will be: \[ \text{B: CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \] This indicates that we have formed butanol as the final product. ### Summary of Structures - **Structure A**: CH₃-CH₂-CH₂B(H)₂ (alkyl borane) - **Structure B**: CH₃-CH₂-CH₂OH (butanol) ### Final Answer The missing structures A and B in the reaction sequence are: - **A**: CH₃-CH₂-CH₂B(H)₂ - **B**: CH₃-CH₂-CH₂OH
