Propene, `CH_(3)-CH = CH_(2)`, can be converted to `1`-propanol by oxidation. Which set of reagents among the following is ideal to effect the conversion?

Options

A. `KMnO_(4)("alkaline")`
B. Osmium tetraoxide `(OsO_(4)//CH_(2)Cl_(2))`
C. `B_(2)H_(5)` and alk. `H_(2)O_(2)`
D. `O_(3)//Zn`

Answer

3

Explanation

`KMnO_(4)(`alkaline) and `OsO_(4)//CH_(2)Cl_(2)` are used for hydroxylation of double bond while `O_(3)//Zn` is used for ozonolysis. Therefore , the right option is `(3) i.e.`
`3CH_(3)-CH=CH_(2)overset(B_(2)H_(6))rarr(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2))Boverset(H_(2)O_(2)//NaOH)rarrunderset(1-"propanol")(3CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)-OH)`
