Pinacol rearrangement made easy pt 3 super hard ring problem organic chemistry
Preparation
It may be produced by the pinacol coupling reaction from acetone:
Reactions
As a vicinal-diol, it can rearrange to pinacolone by the pinacol rearrangement, e.g. by heating with sulfuric acid:
Pinacol can be used with borane and boron trichloride to produce useful synthetic intermediates such as pinacolborane, bis(pinacolato)diboron, and pinacolchloroborane.
