In this problem, you're given an organic reaction, and your reactant that you start out with is a terminal alkyne.
00:08
So we have a triple bond between carbons, and it's taking place at the end of our carbon chain.
00:17
Now, we're given a two -step reaction, and you should recognize this as what's called a hydroboration oxidation.
00:28
And here, across that triple bond, we're going to add an alcohol and hydrogen.
00:36
This is called an anti -markovnikov addition.
00:41
So the higher priority group we're adding, the alcohol, goes on the least substituted carbon of the double bond.
00:48
Here this carbon is attached to one carbon, so it's primary, and this is attached to two, so it's secondary...
