Solution

Dear Student,

Let's write the reaction scheme for conversion of propene to propan-1-ol as expressed below,

$C H_{3} - C H = C H_{2} \overset{H B r / P e r o x i d e}{\to} C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - B r \overset{A q . K O H / ∆}{\to} C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - O H P r o p e n e 1 - B r o m o p r o p a n e P r o p a n - 1 - o l$

Propene is converted to Prop-1-ol through Hydroboration Oxidation (Anti-Markonikoff's rule).
Regards.
