1. Three ways to hydrate

Predict the result of the following reactions:

2. Design the synthesis

How would you prepare 3-methylbutan-1-ol from an alkene?

3. Why no rearrangements?

3,3-Dimethylbut-1-ene gives 3,3-dimethylbutan-1-ol by hydroboration-oxidation, with no rearrangement products. Why?
