How will you obtain propan -1- ol from propane ?

Explanation

The addition of diborane to alkenes to form trialkylboranes followed by their oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide to form alcohols is called hydroboration oxidation .For example ,
`underset("Propene")(CH_(3)CH=CH_(2))+BH_(3)underset("ether")overset("Dry")toCH_(3)-underset(H)underset(|)(CH)-underset(BH_(2))underset(|)(CH_(2))`
`overset(CH_(3)CH=CH_(2))to(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2))B-Hoverset(CH_(3)CH=CH_(2))tounderset("Tri -n-propylborane")`
`underset("Tri-n-propylborane")((CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2))_(3))B+3H_(2)O_(2)overset(OH^(-),H_(2)O)tounderset("Propan-1-ol")(3CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH)+underset("Boric acid")(B(OH)_(3))`
In this reaction addition of water to alkene takes place contray to Markovnikov .s rule .Further , the product (i.e , alcohol)formed is pure and in good yield (free from other byproducts).
