Hydroboration-Oxidation

The video tutorial explains the process of anti-Markovnikov hydration, focusing on hydroboration-oxidation. It details the steps involved, including the hydroboration step where BH-3 is added, and the oxidation step involving hydrogen peroxide. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of recognizing reaction conditions and understanding the stereochemistry and regiochemistry involved. An example is provided to illustrate the application of these concepts in forming a product.
