Question: Which of the following alcohols could notbe made selectively by hydroboration–oxidation of an alkene? Explain.

Isolated from marine algae, prelaureatin is thought to be biosynthesized from laurediol by the following route. Propose a mechanism

One problem with elimination reactions is that mixtures of products are often formed. For example, treatment of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane with KOH in ethanol yields a mixture of two alkene products. What are their likely structures?
Compound A, , was found to be an optically active alcohol. Despite its apparent unsaturation, no hydrogen was absorbed on catalytic reduction over a palladium catalyst. On treatment of A with dilute sulfuric acid, dehydration occurred and an optically inactive alkene B,, was the major product. Alkene B, on ozonolysis, gave two products. One product was identified as propanal,. Compound C, the other product, was shown to be a ketone,. How many degrees of unsaturation does A have? Write the reactions, and identify A, B, and C.

reagents you would use in each case.
