Chemistry - ALCOHOL & ETHER Question with Solution | TestHub

Explain the question :

Question is asking about the reaction in which $2^{\circ }$ alcohol is formed.

Concept:

This question is based on multiple concept like acidic hydration, oxymercurationdemercuration and hydroboration oxidation of alkene.

1. Eletrophilic addition of alkene in reaction 1, 2 and 3.

2. Nucleophilic substitution followed by nucleophilic addition in reaction of acid halide with Grignard

reagent in option 4.

Solution:

Conclusion → 2° alcohol is obtained as a major product in hydroboration in oxidation reaction of alkene

in option 3.
