Which of following reagents convert propene to 1-propanol?

Options

  1. AKOH , KMnO ₄
  2. BH ₂ O , H ₂ SO ₄
  3. CMgSO ₄, NaBH ₄, H ₂ O
  4. DB ₂ H ₆, H ₂ O ₂, OH ^-

Correct answer

D. B ₂ H ₆, H ₂ O ₂, OH ^-

Step-by-step solution

Propene is CH₃-CH=CH₂ . Conversion of propene to 1-propanol ( CH₃-CH₂-CH₂OH ) involves the anti-Markovnikov addition of water across the double bond. Hydroboration-oxidation is the standard method for anti-Markovnikov hydration of alkenes. The reagents used are diborane ( B₂H₆ ) followed by hydrogen peroxide ( H₂O₂ ) in an alkaline medium ( OH^- ). Reaction: 3CH₃-CH=CH₂ + 1 2 B₂H₆ (CH₃-CH₂-CH₂)₃B (CH₃-CH₂-CH₂)₃B + 3H₂O₂ OH^- 3CH₃-CH₂-CH₂OH + H₃BO₃ Acid-catalyzed hydration ( H₂O, H₂SO₄ ) yields 2-propanol (Markovnik
