Question

11 multiple answer 2 points which of the following reactions can produce an alcohol from an alkene? hydroboration - oxidation acid - catalyzed hydration halogenation oxymercuration - demercuration

Explanation:

Step1: Hydroboration - oxidation

Alkene reacts with \(BH_3\) (hydroboration) and then \(H_2O_2/OH^-\) (oxidation) to form alcohol.

Step2: Acid - catalyzed hydration

Alkene reacts with \(H_2O\) in presence of acid (\(H^+\)) to form alcohol.

Step3: Oxymercuration - demercuration

Alkene reacts with \(Hg(OAc)_2/H_2O\) (oxymercuration) and then \(NaBH_4\) (demercuration) to form alcohol.

Step4: Halogenation

Alkene reacts with halogen (\(X_2\)) to form di - haloalkane, not alcohol.

Answer:

A. Hydroboration - oxidation, B. Acid - catalyzed hydration, D. Oxymercuration - demercuration
