Reagent carrying out anti-Markownikov's addition of water
« on: October 06, 2012, 10:30:39 AM »
I found this question in my book:

Name the reagent which is most effective in carrying out anti-Markownikov's addition of [itex] H_2O[/itex] across the ethylynic double bond .Give a reason in support of your answer.

I am not sure if this question is objective enough to be answered though I have no idea.
I am horrible at chemistry.I am always liable to fail my chemistry exams.So, sorry for stupid questions.

Hint hydroboration/oxidation reaction.
Development Chemists do it on Scale, Research Chemists just do it!
