Solution
The correct option is B (i) B2H6/diglyme
(ii) H2O2,NaOH
(iii) PCC/CH2−Cl2
Hydroboration reaction of alkene results in the formation of alcohol by anti-Markovnikov's rule. Then PCC (Pyridinium Chlorochromate) oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols to ketones.
Other reagents result in Markovnikov's addition into alcohol which oxidize it further to the ketone.
