Concept introduction:
When the symmetrical alkenes are treated with oxymercuration-demercuration or hydroboration-oxidation then it will lead to same product. In case of unsymmetrical alkenes they give different products on treatment with oxymercuration-demercuration or hydroboration-oxidation.

4-methyl-3-hexanol was prepared by reacting an alkene with either hydroboration-oxidation or oxymercuration-reduction.
Draw the structure of the alkene that was used to prepare the alcohol in highest yield.
• You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
• Indicate the method of preparation by drawing either BH3 (for
. If there is more than one alkene that can be used for a given method, draw all of them.
If either hydroboration-oxidation or oxymercuration-reduction can be used, just give the structures for one method.

The top of the separation scheme shows what other compound is mixed with your molecule (2,6-dimethyloct-2-ene). Assume for the purposes of this assignment that both compounds are solid at room temperature. Also assume that both compounds are soluble in ether, except ionic compounds. The goal of the separation is the isolate each of the two compounds from the mixture.
