Question

$Propan-1-ol$ can be prepared from propene by

• A. $H _{2} O / H _{2} SO _{4}$
• B. $Hg ( OAc )_{2} / H _{2} O$ followed by $NaBH _{4}$
• C. $B _{2} H _{6}$ followed by $H _{2} O _{2}$
• D. $CH _{3} CO _{2} H / H _{2} SO _{4}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$B _{2} H _{6}$ followed by $H _{2} O _{2}$

Answer 2

Hydroboration yields 1? alcohol from alkenes.
{\underset{\mathrm{Propene}}{{3CH3CH = CH2}}$->[{BH_3 \, in} ][{THF}]$\underset{\mathrm{Tripropyl, borane}}{{(CH3CH2CH2)3B}}$->[{3H_2O_2}][{OH^-}]$\underset{\mathrm{Propan-1-ol}}{{3CH3CH2CH2OH + B(OH)3}}}
