Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The starting material is an optically active alkene, which undergoes hydroboration-oxidation to form an alcohol. The alcohol is then treated with methanesulfonyl chloride (MsCl) and pyridine to form the mesylate, which undergoes elimination to form an alkene. The stereochemistry of the starting alkene is (Z), which is retained in the product alkene. Therefore, the major organic product obtained from the sequence of reactions is (R)-2-Methoxypentane.
