Given below are two statements: Statement I: Propene on treatment with diborane gives an addition product with the formula ( ( CH ₃ )₂- CH _ )₃ ~B . . Statement II: Oxidation of ( ( CH ₃ )₂- CH )₃ ~B with hydrogen peroxide in presence of NaOH gives propan-2ol. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- AStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- BStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Correct answer
B. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Step-by-step solution
CH ₃ CH = CH ₂+ ( H - BH ₂ )₂ CH ₃- CH ₂- CH ₂- BH ₂ CH ₃ CH - CH ₂ ( CH ₃- CH ₂- CH ₂ )₂ BH Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
