***B*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Hydroboration-oxidation⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹The reaction sequence of borane (BH3) in THF followed by H2O2/NaOH is known as hydroboration-oxidation, which converts alkenes to alcohols. The borane adds to the less substituted carbon of the double bond (anti-Markovnikov addition), and subsequent oxidation yields the alcohol at that position. In a cyclic alkene like the one described, the major product will have the hydroxyl group at the more accessible, less sterically hindered carbon adjacent to the former double bond.⚹◊What is the mechanism involved in the conversion of the reactant to the major product in the provided organic reaction scheme?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
