JEE Main 2014 — Alcohols Phenols and Ethers Question with Solution

According to the question, The hydroboration oxidation reaction is an organic chemical reaction which is employed for the conversion of alkenes into alcohols that are neutral. This is done via a two-step process which includes a hydroboration step and an oxidation step.

 Hydroboration oxidation reaction is a two-step reaction in which alkene reacts with ${\mathrm{BH}}_3$, THF (tetrahydrofuran) and hydrogen peroxide in a basic medium to give alcohol. This is done by a net addition (across the entire double bond) of water.

Hydroboration oxidation reaction mechanism can be considered as an anti-markovnikov reaction where a hydroxyl group attaches itself to the carbon which is less substituted.

So, according to this reaction, propene give $\mathrm{n}$-propyl-alcohol.
