Question

Which reagent converts $propene$ to $1-propanol$ :

$H_2O, H_2SO_4$

$B_2H_6, H_2O_2, OH^–$

$Hg(OAc)_2, NaBH_4/H_2O$

$Aq. KOH$

Answer

$B_2H_6, H_2O_2, OH^–$

Explanation

Solution

The reagent that converts $propene$ to $1-propanol$ is $B_2H_6, H_2O_2, OH^–$ . This set of reagents is used in hydroboration-oxidation reactions to convert an alkene into an alcohol.

So, the correct option is (B): $B_2H_6, H_2O_2, OH^–$
