Practice Problem: Three-Step Synthesis

The video tutorial covers a three-step synthesis problem, starting with an alkene and aiming to produce an alcohol. The process involves a markovnikov hydrohalogenation, an elimination reaction using a bulky base, and an anti markovnikov hydration. Each step is analyzed for regiochemistry and reaction conditions, emphasizing critical thinking in synthesis design.

Describe the process of hydroboration oxidation and its purpose in this synthesis.

What are the key considerations regarding regiochemistry in this synthesis?

Summarize the overall steps taken to achieve the desired product in this synthesis.
