The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of sp³ hybridized carbon atoms in the major product [B] from the given reaction sequence, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the starting compound The starting compound is: \[ \text{(CH}_3\text{-C(CH}_3)_2\text{-C}=\text{CH-CH}_2\text{CH}_3) \] This compound has a double bond between the carbon atoms. ### Step 2: Hydroboration reaction The first reaction involves hydroboration using \( B_2H_6 \) followed by oxidation with \( H_2O_2 \) and \( OH^- \). In this step, the reaction follows the anti-Markovnikov rule, meaning that the hydrogen will add to the less substituted carbon of the double bond. The product \( A \) after hydroboration and oxidation will be: \[ \text{(CH}_3\text{-C(CH}_3)_2\text{-C(OH)-CH}_2\text{CH}_3) \] ### Step 3: Acid-catalyzed dehydration Next, the product \( A \) is treated with dilute \( H_2SO_4 \) and heated, leading to dehydration. The hydroxyl group (-OH) will be protonated to form a good leaving group, resulting in the formation of a carbocation. ### Step 4: Carbocation rearrangement The carbocation formed will undergo rearrangement (hydride shift) to form a more stable tertiary carbocation. The product \( B \) will be formed after elimination of water. ### Step 5: Determine the structure of product \( B \) The major product \( B \) can be represented as: \[ \text{(CH}_3\text{-C(CH}_3)_2\text{-C}=\text{C-CH}_2\text{CH}_3) \] This structure contains double bonds and single bonds. ### Step 6: Count sp³ hybridized carbon atoms To identify the sp³ hybridized carbon atoms, we look for carbon atoms that are bonded to four other atoms (which can be hydrogen or other carbons). - The carbon atoms in the structure can be analyzed: 1. The terminal \( CH_3 \) group (1 sp³) 2. The \( CH \) groups attached to the \( C(CH_3)_2 \) (2 sp³) 3. The \( CH_2 \) groups (2 sp³) In total, we find that there are **6 sp³ hybridized carbon atoms** in product \( B \). ### Final Answer The major product [B] has **6 sp³ hybridized carbon atoms**. ---
