1-pentyne reacts with dicylohexylborane, followed by oxidation, to produce pentanal. The organoborane formed in step 1 is oxidized by H2O2 in the presence of OH– in the next step of the reaction. Which of the following options correctly describe this process? Choose one or more: A. –BR2 acts as a leaving group in this step. B. OH– must attack from the face of the alkene opposite the –BR2 group. C. OH replaces –BR2 in this step. D. OH replaces H in this step. E. Configuration at the carbon-bearing B is retained in the reaction.
