The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Hydroboration yields 1? alcohol from alkenes.
${$\underset{\mathrm{Propene}}{{3CH3CH = CH2}}$->[{BH_3 \, in} ][{THF}]$\underset{\mathrm{Tripropyl\, borane}}{{(CH3CH2CH2)3B}}$ ->[{3H_2O_2}][{OH^-}]$\underset{\mathrm{Propan-1-ol}}{{3CH3CH2CH2OH + B(OH)3}}$ } $

Alcohol is a derivative of water (H2O) that has one, two, or more hydroxyl groups that are attached to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbon chain (an alkyl group). It is one of the most common organic compounds used in sweeteners, fragrances, and medicine.

Uses of Alcohol:

  • Ethanol is the alcohol used in alcoholic drinks. It can be used as an industrial methylated spirit where methanol is used very little in quantity as it can be dangerous.
  • It is used as fuel to produce carbon dioxide and water by the process of fermentation. Whereas methanol burns carbon dioxide and water to facilitate combustion.
  • Alcohol is an organic compound used as a solvent that is insoluble in water.
  • It can be used to lower the level of sugar.
  • Alcohol is used as a preservative in laboratories.
