Question

$2^o$ alcohols can be prepared by:

• A. Oxidative alkaline hydrolysis of adduct obtained from an alkene and borane
• B. Reduction of ketone with $NaB{H}_4$
• C. Hydrolysis of adduct obtained from $MeMgBr$ and nitrile
• D. Acid work of adduct obtained from grignard reagent and ketone

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B Reduction of ketone with $NaB{H}_4$
D Acid work of adduct obtained from grignard reagent and ketone

Oxidative alkaline hydrolysis of adduct obtained from an alkene and borane produces $1^o$ alcohol.
Hydrolysis of adduct obtained from $MeMgBr$ and nitrile gives ketone.
