Correct answer
1
Step-by-step solution
The reaction is known as hydroboration-oxidation. In this reaction, B 2 H 6 adds to the double bond of propene, resulting in the formation of an organoborane intermediate. Subsequent treatment with H 2 O 2 converts the organoborane intermediate to an alcohol. Hydration follows anti-Markownikoff's rule. In this hydration reaction, 1-methylcyclohexene (an alkene) is reacted with aqueous H 3 O + (formed from water and a strong acid such as H 2 SO 4 ), resulting in Markovnikov addition of water across the pi bond. The
