Question

$1$-propanol can be easily obtained from propene $C{H}_3-CH=C{H}_2$ , by oxidation in the presence of

• A. $H_{2}S{O}_4$
• B. $H_{2}O$
• C. $B_2{H}_6,H_2{O}_2$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$1$-propanol can be obtained only by hydroboration-oxidation.

This reaction takes place by anti Markownikoff's rule.
By the addition of water $2$-propanol is obtained. (According to Markownikoff's rule)

When propene reacts with $H_{2}S{O}_4,2$-propanol is obtained. (According to Markownikoff's rule)
