How is hydroboration-oxidation similar to the acid-catalyzed addition of water? How does it differ?
a) Both reactions add water across a double bond; hydroboration-oxidation occurs in two steps while acid-catalyzed addition occurs in one step.
b) Both reactions add water across a double bond; hydroboration-oxidation occurs in one step while acid-catalyzed addition occurs in two steps.
c) Both reactions add a boron compound across a double bond; hydroboration-oxidation occurs in one step while acid-catalyzed addition occurs in two steps.
d) Both reactions add a boron compound across a double bond; hydroboration-oxidation occurs in two steps while acid-catalyzed addition occurs in one step.
