You are browsing the VOICE ACTOR WEBSITES free voice over practice script library.
These public domain voice over scripts are available as a resource for voice actors to practice. They have been compiled by talent just like you who are working together to make the voice over industry better for everyone. Since these scripts are widely available, we suggest not using them for a demo but they are great for practice! View all voice over script categories

One of the features that makes the hydroboration reaction so useful is the regiochemistry that results when an unsymmetrical alkene is hydroborated. For example, hydroboration-oxidation of 1-methylcyclopentene yields trans-2-methylcyclopentanol. Boron and hydrogen add to the alkene with syn stereochemistry, with boron attaching to the less highly substituted carbon. During the oxidation step, the boron is replaced by a hydroxyl with the same stereochemistry, resulting in an overall syn non-Markovnikov addition of water. This stereochemical result is particularly useful since it is complementary to the Markovnikov regiochemistry observed for oxymercuration.
