In Markovnikov's studies, he dealt with HX addition where H was always more positive than X. In the B-H bond, boron is more positive than H. Thus, I would classify the lefthand TS as Markovnikov-type addition. After the alkylborane oxidation, where O replaces B, the net result is anti-Markovnikov addition of water. | |
