In response to the feedback for my alkene reaction cheat sheet I’ve compiled another organic chemistry reference sheet, this time for alkyne reactions. Do NOT simply use this guide to memorize reaction products. Instead use this guide as you study to ensure that you understand mechanisms and recognize reaction sequences. For my Alkyne Reactions Organic […]
Hydroboration Oxidation of Alkenes
Hydroboration-oxidation is yet another alcohol yielding alkene reaction. However this reaction results in an alcohol adding to the less substituted carbon for an anti-Markovnikov product. The video below helps you understand the reactivity of Boron as well as the hydroboration and oxidation steps of the reaction mechanism. Watch this video on YouTube or read the […]
