Write the main product(s) of each of the following reactions: a) (the reaction shown in the figure) b) CH3–CH=CH2 →(i) B2H6 (ii) H2O2/OH⁻→ c) C6H5–OH →(i) aq. NaOH (ii) CO2, H⁺→Reaction (a)
Solution
(a) Apply the printed reagent to the displayed substrate: an activated ring substitutes at o/p; an ether with HI cleaves to ArOH + RI — write that product. (b) Hydroboration–oxidation adds water anti-Markovnikov:
