Organic reactions
An alcohol is the first reactant shown. Alcohol have excess of electrons due to the lone pairs of oxygen on them, so they attract electrophiles towards them. At the same time, they can behave as acids also for very strong bases, as O-H bond in them can be broken.
Answer and Explanation:
OH is to be transferred to a less substituted carbon. This cannot be done by carbocation mechanism. So, this is done by hybroboration and…
