Hydroboration oxidation of 4-methyl butane would give

Answer»

4 methyloctanol
2-methyldecane
4-methylheptanol
4-methyl-2-octanone

Solution :To obtain alkan-1-olfrom alk-1-ene, the following procedure should be adopted. Alk-1-ene is TREATED FIRST with diborane. The boron compound formed is then reacted with `H_2O_2` to get the desired alcohol (hydrobration oxidation).

The overall result of the above reaction, appears to be anti-Markownkoff's addition of WATER (hydration) to a double BOND (Hydroboration oxidation )
