Background

  • 1-Octene can be an irritant and it can be ignited under almost any temperature condition.
  • It is stable and has low toxicity.
  • There are many different isomers of octene and this experiment uses the simplest form which is 1-octene where the double bond is on the 1st carbon.
  • Herbert C. Brown discovered Hydroboration in the late 1950s.
  • He was born in London and eventually married Sarah Baylen who inspired him to work with Boron.
  • He won a Chemistry Nobel Prize for his work in 1979.

Introduction

Background

  • The product of the reaction is 1-octanol.
  • It is used in perfumes, cosmetics, antifoaming agents, and food flavoring.
  • Used in many everyday items because it can be easily degraded in soil and water.

Background

  • Boron was discovered by Sir Humphrey Davy and Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac. It is the most important part of the Hydroboration step.
  • Another important material is 1-octene.

  • The Electrophile in step one is the BH and the Nucleophile is 1-octene.
  • The Electrophile in step two is the boron complex and the -OH is the Nucleophile.
  • The final product is 1-octanol with the byproduct B(OH) .
  • Hydroboration-Oxidation is a two-step process
  • Step one has an R group replacing boron's hydrogen.
  • This happens three times to create a trialkylborane. The product at this point is also known as an Organoborane.

Background

  • Step two is the process of the hydrogen peroxide ion, after being deprotonated, attacking the product from step 1.
  • This happens three times and the main product is 1-octanol.

Overall Reaction

  • Hydroboration-Oxidation is a two-step process that uses BH , NaOH, and H O .
  • 1-octene is reacted to make 1-octanol.
  • The reaction uses syn addition and is anti-Markovnikov
  • BH adds to the least substituted carbon on the double bond and 1-octene in the first step of the reaction.
