Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion In the given reaction a greater regioselectivity is achieved if disiamylbrorane is used in place of diborane. Bulkiness of disiamyl borane increases the regioselectivity. More bulky disimyl borane tend to attach selectively to the less sterically hindered terminal carbon of given alkyne. Hence, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
