This is a song for the chemists
But students listen closely
You don't always use Markovnikov
In fact sometimes that's not right to do
Sometimes it's anti-Markovnikov
But students listen closely
You don't always use Markovnikov
In fact sometimes that's not right to do
Sometimes it's anti-Markovnikov
And Also Syn addition too
Sometimes you've got propene
Sometimes cyclohexene
Sometimes you've got to say hey
I'm gonna add BH3
I'm gonna bond syn addition
Using THF solution
Followed by base/peroxides
And then you say hey are we done yet
And then you say wait a minute Boron
I think I've made an alcohol for you
Did you put it on for me?
That's awesome teamwork
What's the favorite posish? (Syn)
That's cool with me its not my favorite but I'll do it for you
What's your favorite carbon?
I'm gonna add it but I'll put it in your place
And then I'm gonna break bonds completely
And then I'll remove the B neatly
And that's where the OH bonds discreetly
So now, it doesn't seem so hard
Hard
