A variant of this reaction that replaces its second step with acetic acid can reduce alkynes to cis-alkenes and is known as its protonolysis version. More selective versions of its main reagent include one bound to two isamyl groups and a bicyclic no
A variant of this reaction that replaces its second step with acetic acid can reduce alkynes to cis-alkenes and is known as its protonolysis version. More selective versions of its main reagent include one bound to two isamyl groups and a bicyclic nonane known as 9-BBN. Its use on terminal alkynes results in an enol that tautomerizes to an (*) aldehyde. It begins with a syn addition, followed by an oxidation that uses NaOH and H2O2. For 10 points, name this anti-Markovnikov reaction that generates alcohols from alkenes.
