Question

Given reactants and reaction conditions, predict the products of the following types of reactions used to form alcohols. In each case, be able to give the stereochemistry of the product

nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides

acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes

oxymercuration-demercuration of alkenes

hydroboration-oxidation of alkenes

hydrolysis of epoxides to form anti vicinal diols (anti hydroxylation of alkenes)

syn hydroxylation of alkenes

synthesis of Grignard reagents & alkyl lithium reagents and addition of these

organometallic reagents to formaldehyde, aldehydes, ketones, esters, acid chlorides, and

epoxides

reduction of carbonyl compounds

Explanation / Answer

1.Nu:- + R--X---------> R--Nu + X-

OH- + R-Cl -------->R-OH + Cl-

2.Acid catalyzed hydration of alkenes is one method of generating alcohols. Regioselectivity of hydration follows Markovnikov's rule in that the hydrogen adds to the carbon with the most hydrogens. Carbocation rearrangement can occur during the reaction.Alcohol+ water is formed

3.The reaction follows Markovnikov's rule .Alcohol+ water is formed

4.the hydroboration
