B(OH)3 + NaOH ⇒ NaBO2 +Na[B(OH)4] +H2O How can this reaction is made to proceed in forward direction.
(a) Addition of cis Benzene - 1,2-diol
(b) Addition of Borax
(c) Addition of trans-Benzene 1,2-diol
(d) Addition of Na2HPO4
Correct option (a) Addition of cis Benzene - 1,2-diol
Due to formation of chelated complex, the reaction moves in forward direction
