Comprehension # 2
Borane is an electron deficient compound. It has only six valence electrons, so the boron atom lacks an
octet. Acquiring an octet is the driving force for the unusual bonding structure found in boron compounds.
As an electron deficient compound, BH3 is a strong electrophile, capable of adding to a double bond. This
hydroboration of double bond is though to occur in one step, with the boron atom adding to the less highly
substituted end of the double bond. In transition state, the boron atom withdraws electrons from the pi bond
and the carbon at the other end of the double bond acquires a partial positive charge. This positive charge
is more stable on the more highly substituted carbon atom. The second step is the oxidation of boron atom,
:

removing it from carbon and replacing it with a hydroxyl group by using H2O2/ OH .
The simultaneous addition of boron and hydrogen to the double bond leads to a syn addition. Oxidation of
the trialkyl borane replaces boron with a hydroxyl group in the same stereochemical position. Thus,
hydroboration of alkene is an example of stereospecific reaction, in which different stereoisomers of starting
compounds react to give different stereoisomers of the product.

(3-methylhex-2-ene) (pentan-2-one)

9. n-Pentane has higher b.p. (36.2°C) than neopentane (9.5°C). It is due to vander waals forces. n-Pentane has a
rod-like shape, while neopentane is sphere-like. Rods can touch along their entire length, while the spheres
touch only at a point. The more the contanct between molecules, the greater the vander waals forces and
hence higher the b.p.
