(a)

(i)

 

(ii) CH_3CH=CH_2\xrightarrow[(ii)H_2O_2/OH^-)]{(i)B_2H_6}(CH_3-CH_2-CH_2)_3B

                                                                                           \downarrow H_2O/OH^-

                                                               3CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-OH+B(OH)_3

 

(iii)     

 

(b) Iodoform Test:

CH_3CHOHCH_2CH_3+4I_2+NaOH\overset{\bigtriangleup }{\rightarrow}CHI_3\downarrow +CH_3CH_2COONa+

     Butan-2-ol                                                                     [Iodoform yellow ppt.]

5 NaI + 5H_2O

CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH+I_2+NaOH\overset{\bigtriangleup }{\rightarrow} No Reaction.

(Butan-1-ol)

(c) Ethanol<Water<Phenol
