Question

The alkene R – CH = CH2 reacts readily with
B₂H₆ and formed the product B which on
oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxides produces
(a) R – CH₂ – CHO
(b) R – CH₂ – CH₂ – OH
(c) RーC=O (d) R ー CH ー CH₂
| | |
CH₃ OH OH

Answer 1

(b) R – CH₂ – CH₂ – OH

Explanation:

The alkene R – CH = CH2 reacts readily with B₂H₆ and formed the product B which on oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxides produces  R – CH₂ – CH₂ – OH. Please refer to the attached picture for the equation representing this chemical reaction.

Option B is the answer.
