The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the final product formed when the alkene CH₃CH=CH₂ is treated with B₂H₆ in the presence of H₂O₂. This reaction involves hydroboration-oxidation, which follows specific steps. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Alkene The given alkene is CH₃CH=CH₂. This is a three-carbon alkene known as propene (or prop-1-ene). **Hint:** Recognize the structure of the alkene and its name based on the number of carbons and the position of the double bond. ### Step 2: Understand the Reaction Conditions The alkene is treated with B₂H₆ (diborane) in the presence of H₂O₂ (hydrogen peroxide). This indicates that we are performing a hydroboration-oxidation reaction. **Hint:** Remember that hydroboration-oxidation involves two main steps: hydroboration (addition of boron) followed by oxidation (conversion to alcohol). ### Step 3: Hydroboration Step In the hydroboration step, B₂H₆ adds across the double bond of the alkene. According to the anti-Markovnikov rule, the boron atom will attach to the less substituted carbon (the one with more hydrogen atoms). - In CH₃CH=CH₂, the first carbon (C1) has 2 hydrogen atoms, and the second carbon (C2) has 1 hydrogen atom. Thus, boron will attach to C1. **Hint:** Apply the anti-Markovnikov rule to determine where the boron will add. ### Step 4: Formation of Trialkylborane After the hydroboration step, we form a trialkylborane intermediate. The structure after hydroboration will be: - C1: CH₃-CH₂ (with boron attached) - C2: CH₂-B (where B is the boron atom) This results in the structure: CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-B. **Hint:** Visualize the structure of the trialkylborane to understand the positioning of the boron atom. ### Step 5: Oxidation Step In the oxidation step, the trialkylborane is treated with H₂O₂ in the presence of a base (usually NaOH). This converts the boron to an alcohol group (OH) and replaces the boron atom. - The boron atom will be replaced by an OH group at the same carbon where it was attached (C1). **Hint:** Remember that the oxidation step converts the boron to an alcohol group. ### Step 6: Final Product After the oxidation, the final product will be: - CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-OH, which is propan-1-ol. **Hint:** Identify the final structure and name the compound based on the number of carbons and the functional group. ### Conclusion The final product formed from the reaction of CH₃CH=CH₂ with B₂H₆ in the presence of H₂O₂ is propan-1-ol (CH₃CH₂CH₂OH). ### Summary of Final Product: The final product is **CH₃CH₂CH₂OH** (propan-1-ol).
