The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$CH _{3}- CH = CH _{2}+\left( H - BH _{2}\right)_{2} \rightarrow CH _{3}- CH _{2}- CH _{2} BH _{2} \xrightarrow{CH_3CH =CH_2}$
$\left( CH _{3}- CH _{2}- CH _{2}\right)_{2} BH \xrightarrow{ CH _{3} CH = CH _{2}}$
$\left( CH _{3} CH _{2} CH _{2}\right)_{3} B \xrightarrow[OH^-]{ H _{2} O , 3 H _{2} O _{2}}$
$\underset{\text { propan-1-ol }}{3 CH _{3} CH _{2} CH _{2} OH }+ B ( OH )_{3}$

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.
