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 (hydroboration oxidation).

The overall result of the above reaction, appears to be anti–Markownikoff’s addition of water (hydration) to a double bond (Hydroboration oxidation).
