Solution

(i) $C H_{3} C H = C H_{2} p r o p e n e + H B r p e r o x i d e - ---- \to C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} B r + K O H (a q) Δ - \to C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} O H p r o p a n - 1 - o l$

(ii) $C H_{3} C H = O E t h a n a l C H_{3} M g I - ---- \to C H_{3} C H (O M g I) C H_{3} H^{+}, H_{2} O - ---- \to C H_{3} C H (O H) C H_{3} p r o p a n - 2 - o l$
