In order to synthesis 1-phenylbutan-1-ol, you started the reaction with a hydration of prop-1-ene using the hydroboration method. Then you oxidized the intermediate with KMNO4. Finally, alkylation using C6HSMGB was performed to obtain the final product. However, the reaction was not successful. Analyse the reaction by explaining what happened to the reaction and provide the correct synthetic method.

The hydroboration–oxidation of internal alkynes produces ketones.(a) When hydroboration–oxidation is applied to but-2-yne, a single pure product isobtained. Determine the structure of this product, and show the intermediates in itsformation.(b) When hydroboration–oxidation is applied to pent-2-yne, two products are obtained.Show why a mixture of products should be expected with any unsymmetricalinternal alkyne.
An inexperienced graduate student treated dec-5-ene with borane in THF, placed the flask in a refrigerator, and left for aparty. When he returned from the party, he discovered that the refrigerator was broken and that it had gotten quite warminside. Although all the THF had evaporated from the flask, he treated the residue with basic hydrogen peroxide. Tohis surprise, he recovered a fair yield of decan-1-ol. Use a mechanism to show how this reaction might have occurred.(Hint: The addition of BH3 is reversible.)
