The alkene R—CH=CH2 reacts readily with B2H6 and formed the product B which on oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxides produces:

1. R—CH2—CHO
2. R—CH2—CH2—OH
3. R—C=O
4. R—CH—CH2 | OH

Correct answer: R—CH2—CHO

Solution

The alkene reacts with B2H6 to form an alkane, which on oxidation gives an aldehyde.
