The hydroboration-oxidation process allows organic chemists to synthesize alcohols and other functional groups from alkenes. Unlike other processes however, hydroboration-oxidation results in the anti-markovnikov addition to the double bond of an alkene. This yields a product that would otherwise be very difficult to obtain from the alkene by any other method. Unfortunately, because this process requires an inert atmosphere, an expensive hydroborating reagent-borane in THF, and the use of syringes, it is not feasible to run such an experiment in a general organic chemistry laboratory. The goal of this research is the development of an alternative hydroboration-oxidation lab procedure that would utilize sodium borohydride and acetic acid as the hydroborating agents. The development of this procedure will allow organic chemistry students the opportunity to further explore hydroboration-oxidation in the lab environment.
