The hydroboration–oxidation of internal alkynes produces ketones. (a) When hydroboration–oxidation is applied to but-2-yne, a single pure product is obtained. Determine the structure of this product, and show the intermediates in its formation. (b) When hydroboration–oxidation is applied to pent-2-yne, two products are obtained. Show why a mixture of products should be expected with any unsymmetrical internal alkyne.
