Question

What is the product of hydroboration-oxidation of 1-methylcyclohexene?
Options
A 1-Methylcyclohexanol
B 2-Methylcyclohexanol
Correct Answer
C Cyclohexanol
D Methylcyclohexane
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Hydroboration-oxidation adds OH anti-Markovnikov: to the less substituted carbon. In 1-methylcyclohexene, the less substituted carbon is C2 (the one not bearing the methyl), giving 2-methylcyclohexanol.

Hint

OH goes to the less substituted carbon.
