Diborane on reaction with olefins forms :
Options
- Amono acid derivatives
- Bdiethyl borane
- Ctriethyl borane
- Dethyl borane
Correct answer
C. triethyl borane
Step-by-step solution
Diborane readily adds at 0^ C to 25^ C to the olefin or acetylenic compound to form trialkyl boranes. This reaction is known as hydro-boration. Ethylene 6 CH ₂= CH ₂ + B ₂ H ₆ ether
