Identify the major product C in the following reaction sequence:

Step-by-step solution

The given reaction sequence involves three main steps: 1. Hydroboration-Oxidation: The reaction of 1-methylcyclopentene with BH ₃/ THF followed by H ₂ O ₂/ NaOH is a hydroboration-oxidation process. It results in the anti-Markovnikov addition of water across the double bond. The addition is strictly *syn*, meaning the hydrogen atom and the hydroxyl ( -OH ) group add to the same face of the double bond. Consequently, the methyl group at C1 and the newly added -OH group at C2 will be on opposite faces of the ring, yi
