THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS ARLINGTON

1. The plaque found on your teeth is home to more than 300 different species of bacteria! • THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS ARLINGTON • PRE-DENTAL SOCIETY • GENERAL BODY MEETING • OCTOBER 10th, 2014 Which one of the following reactions of alkenes does the Anti-Markovnikov’s rule apply instead of Markovnikov’s rule? A. Hydration B. Oxymercuration-demercuration C. Hydroboration-oxidation D. Addition of HCl E. Addition of Br2 UTA Pre-Dental Society 2014-2015

2. Correct Answer: C.Hydroboration-oxidation The electronegativity of the hydrogen atom is stronger than that of boron, which means hydrogen is relatively negatively charged compared to boron. So in this case, the hydrogen will be added to the end containing more substituents and the boron part will be added to the end containing more hydrogen atoms, which will then convert to the hydroxyl group. This is the Anti-Markovnikov product. http://datquestionoftheday.com/category/biology/
