The discovery of these carbonylation processes enabled the industrial production of aldehydes, carboxylic acids or esters, and alcohols from alkenes and alkynes using Fe,...

For these reasons, acid-catalyzed hydration is often not the method of choice for preparing alcohols from alkenes. Another reaction that accomplishes this same transformation, often in higher yield, is described in Section 11.6. 

Show preparations of these alcohols from alkenes. 

All three reactions are shown as equilibria, since each step is readily reversible as we shall soon see, the exact reverse of this reaction sequence is involved in the formation of alcohols from alkenes (Sec. 6.10). Equilibrium ( ) lies very far to the... 

One of the most useful methods for preparing alcohols from alkenes is the hydroboration reaction reported in 1959 by H. C. Brown. Hydroboration involves addition of a B-H bond of borane, BH3, to an alkene to yield an organoborane intermediate, RBH2 ... 

The overall reactions thus provide a useful method for synthesis of allylic alcohols from alkenes. 

Asymmetric hydrosilylation has thus become one of the most useful methods for the preparation of optically active alcohols from alkenes [9,10]. Another important application of catalytic asymmetric hydrosilylation is the 1,4-hydros-ilylation of 1,3-dienes which efficiently produces optically active allyHc silanes. 

Hydroformylation of alkenes (Fig. 5.8) is an important commercial process for the production of aldehydes and alcohols from alkenes and is one of the most important examples of homogeneous catalysis in industry with a production capacity of more than 8 million tons/year [38]. Initial work by Manassen on aqueous biphasic catalysis [39]... 

We can prepare alcohols from alkenes, and alkenes from alcohols, but how do we control the position of equilibrium so as to maximize the yield of the compound we want ... 

N-Nitrosopiperidine (carcinogen) with oxygen adds photolytically to alkenes to give A(-(2-nitro-alkyl)piperidines. Indirect methods of preparing amino alcohols from alkenes include the well-known trans opening of epoxides with nitrogen nucleophiles and a recent, complementary, cis opening of... 

ALCOHOLS FROM ALKENES THROUGH OXYMERCURATION-DEMERCURATION... 

A useful laboratory procedure for synthesizing alcohols from alkenes that avoids rearrangement is a two-step method called oxymercutation—demercuration.

We have already studied the acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes, oxymercutadon— demercuration, and hydroboration-oxidation as methods for the synthesis of alcohols from alkenes (see Sections 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6, respectively). Below, we briefly summarize these methods. 

An acid catalyst is required in this case because the neutral water molecule is not acidic enough to provide protons to start the reaction. The stepwise mechanism for this reaction is given later in eq. 3.20. Hydration is used industrially and occasionally in the laboratory to synthesize alcohols from alkenes.
