In preparation of 1-octanol from 1-octene (through hydroboration-oxidation), why would an explosion be possible if the borane-THF solution was added to an aqueous, basic solution of 1-octene and water? If someone had to figure out a way to finish this experiment without getting a fresh sample of 1-octene (after forgetting to get rid of all of the water in the system), what should this person do from this point on to get a reasonable yield of 1-octanol?
