Alkynes undergo hydroboration to give alkenylboranes, which can be oxidized to give carbonyl compounds with hydrogen peroxide. The net result of the two-step sequence is hydration, which gives aldehydes from terminal alkynes.

The oxidation step involves an enol intermediate. Using Mechanism 9.2 as a guide, write the structure of the enol that is formed in the conversion of 1-hexyne to hexanal.
