Question -

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

Options:

A .

H_{2} O / H_{2} S O_{4}

B .

H g (O A c)_{2} / H_{2} O

followed by

N a B H_{4}

C .

B_{2} H_{6}

followed by

H_{2} O_{2}

D .

C H_{3} C O_{2} H / H_{2} S O_{4}

Answer: Option C
:
C

When propene reacts with mercuric acetate followed by $N a B H_{4}$ , it gives secondary or tertiary alcohols, in accordance with Markownikoff’s rule. But, with diborane followed by $H_{2} O_{2},$ it gives primary alcohols which is in accordance with Anti-Markownikoff’s rule. $6 C H_{3} - C H = C H_{2} + B_{2} H_{6} H_{2} O_{2} - -- \to C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} O H$
