Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Propene on treatment with diborane gives an addition product with the formula $\left(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2-\mathrm{CH}_{)_3} \mathrm{~B}\right.$.
Statement II: Oxidation of $\left(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2-\mathrm{CH}\right)_3 \mathrm{~B}$ with hydrogen peroxide in presence of NaOH gives propan-2ol.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Solution
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2+\left(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{BH}_2\right)_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{BH}_2 \xrightarrow{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_2}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_2 \mathrm{BH}$
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
