Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
The mechanism for both the hydroboration of 2-methyl-1-pentene and acid-catalyzed hydration are shown i the image attached to this answer.
The both processes involve addition reaction. Hydroboration is similar to hydration but the orientation of addition is anti - Markovnikov in nature.
The acid-catalyzed hydration of 2-methyl-1-pentene yields a minor product and a major product. The major product is an accordance with Markovnikov rule as shown by the reaction mechanism. The minor product is anti - Markovnikov.
