AIIMS 2017 Chemistry Hydroboration-Oxidation MCQ Question
In the following reaction, (A) and (B) are respectively, are
Both are
Both are
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When methylenecyclohexane undergoes hydrolysis, it forms 1-methylcyclohexanol (A) through the addition of water (H₂O) across the double bond. The reaction of methylenecyclohexane with B₂H₆/THF leads to the formation of a trialkylborane intermediate, which upon oxidation with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) produces cyclohexylmethanol (B) through a hydroboration-oxidation mechanism. Other options are incorrect as they do not represent the correct products formed from the specified reactions involving methylenecyclohexane.
