Alkoxymercuation-demercuration and hydroboration can convert it to an alcohol because it is nucleophilic.
When MCPBA is added to this functional group, it forms an oxirane similar to the cyclopropanes created when it undergoes the Simmons-Smith reaction. Alkoxymercuation-demercuration and hydroboration can convert it to an alcohol because it is nucleophilic. A molecule with two of these groups is known as a diene. Its characteristic peak is at about 1660 inverse centimeters on an IR spectrum. This functional group readily undergoes electrophilic addition due to its carbon-carbon double bond. For 10 points, name this function group derived from a hydrocarbon of formula C n H two n, the simplest example of which is ethylene.
