Hydroboration reaction experiments and Markovnikov's rule
Not what you're looking for?
In one experiment you combine 1-hexene which is reacted with H2SO4 with water as the solvent and the compound produced is 2-hexanol, and in another experiment you have 1-Methylcyclohexene which reacts with H2SO4 in water to produce 1-methylcyclohexanol. Do the reactions in these experiments conform to E2 elimination, Markovnikov's rule, Hund's rule, Zeitsev's rule, or Atkin's rule?

Solution Summary
An analysis of two different hydroboration reactions, followed by explanations on which rule the separate experiments both prove.
Solution Preview
Both reactions involve addition of (H) and (OH) to the C=C double bonds. So they are definitely not elimination reaction. They ...
