Jul 22, 2015 · I've always known borane ($\\ce{BH3}$), as a reagent for alkene hydroboration. Recently in class we talked about its use in the reduction of carboxylic acids to alcohols as well. Now …

Jan 30, 2022 · Why does BH3/THF reduce the carbonyl group to a methylene rather than an alcohol? Ask Question Asked 3 years, 10 months ago Modified 3 years, 10 months ago

Feb 14, 2019 · The reduction of secondary amides with BH3 requires 3 equivalents, mechanism shown below image sourced from here. The borane becomes HB=O which may transform further depending …

Mar 19, 2017 · In BH3, Boron is less electronegative than H (i.e. hydrogen) , hence in the syn addition I have shown, hydrogen ends up being attached to a more substituted carbon atom.

The principle of full octet is that most reactivity patterns are described well if there is a driving force / energetic gain for full octets in main-group atoms. However, the only facet of an atom that dictates …

Aug 29, 2022 · Sterics is the deciding factor in hydroboration which occurs at the least hindered carbon, thus you get the primary alcohol from limonene. The hydroboration of limonene is discussed here …

Apr 17, 2020 · Can someone provide a visual (picture) showing the "mixing" of the atomic orbitals to create the three hybrid orbitals (while maintaining the same orientation of BH3 as in my first image)? …

Jun 10, 2020 · I'm solving some synthesis problems for practice and I came across this one: I thought of going for compound A to B (aldehyde) with this procedure: $\ce {t-BuOK}$ $\ce …

Jun 29, 2017 · Why BH3 its classified as a "Molecular Hydride" and AlH3 its a "Intermediary Hydride" Ask Question Asked 8 years, 6 months ago Modified 8 years, 6 months ago

May 15, 2014 · While studying dipole moment in organic chemistry, I got stuck at a particular statement written in the book : Symmetrical molecules without lone pairs of electrons will have $\\mu = 0.$ The …
