Preparing Alcohols A Review

We will leam many ways of making alcohols in this chapter. First, let s review the various reactions that we have already learned in previous chapters. All of these reactions can be used to produce an alcohol  

Before we can leam new methods for making alcohols, you must make sure that you remember the methods that you have already learned (above). Let s get some practice  

EXERCISE 12.18 What reagents would you use to accomplish the following transformation  

ANSWER In this case, H and OH are added across the pi bond in an anti-Markovnikov addition. No stereocenters were formed, so the stereochemical outcome is not relevant. We have only seen one way to achieve an anti-Markovnikov addition of water across a pi bond hydroboration-oxidation. Therefore, our answer is
