Q. Propene, $CH_3 - CH = CH_2$ can be converted into $1$-propanol by oxidation. Indicate which set of reagents amongst the following is ideal to affect the above conversion?

AIPMTAIPMT 1989Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

$CH _{3}- CH = CH _{2} \xrightarrow{ B _{2} H _{6}} CH _{3}- \underset{\overset{|}{H}}{C}H - \underset{\overset{|}{B}H_2}{CH _{2}} \xrightarrow{ H _{2} O _{2}} CH _{3}- CH _{2}- CH _{2} OH$
This reaction is called as hydroboration-oxidation.
