One compound that contains this element adds hydroxyl groups to less substituted carbon of an alkene, and hydrogen peroxide is used to displace this element in the second step of that reaction.
A reaction between acids of this element and an aryl or vinyl halide is used to produce conjugated styrenes and biphenyls, and a compound containing this element is generally solvated in a compound with a five membered ring with an oxygen heteroatom. This element is bonded to a cyanide group, three hydrogen atoms and a sodium atom in a weak reducing agent. One compound that contains this element adds hydroxyl groups to less substituted carbon of an alkene, and hydrogen peroxide is used to displace this element in the second step of that reaction. A trihydride of this element is solvated in THF and used in a reaction to yield an anti-Markovnikov product. For 10 points, name this element with atomic number 5.
