Write the main product in each of the following reactions:
Write the main product in each of the following reactions:
Show Hint
In reactions of alcohols and phenols, the product formation can be understood by considering the reactivity of the hydroxyl group (-OH) with reagents such as borane, hydrogen peroxide, or carboxylic acids.

Solution and Explanation
(i) The oxidation of the hydroboration product with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxide (OH−) leads to the formation of a diol. The main product will be (CH3–CH2–CH2–CH2OH), 1-propanol.
(ii) Phenol (C6H5OH) reacts with aqueous NaOH to form phenoxide ion (C6H5O−). When phenol reacts with CO2 in the presence of H+, it undergoes carboxylation to form salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid).
Main product: Salicylic acid (C6H4(OH)COOH)

Top Questions on Organic Chemistry
- Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones that represent enormous structural diversity in terms of the arrangement of atoms in space, resulting in hundreds of stereoisomers. Although the chemical properties of most stereoisomers may not be very different, their metabolic rate and utilization in biological systems is significantly different and known to influence the overall carbohydrate metabolism. Structural variants, which arise due to a different arrangement of atoms in three-dimensional space are known as stereoisomers. The number of stereoisomers can be theoretically estimated by using the formula 2n, where ‘n’ is the number of stereocenters or asymmetric (chiral) carbon atoms in a molecule. Out of these stereoisomers, there are some structures, which are mirror images of each other, and they are referred to as enantiomers.
