Chemistry Question from JEE Main 2023 · 24 January, Shift 2

Find out the major products A and B from the following reactions:

B  ←NaBH4Hg(OAc)2, H2O  (CH3)2C=CH2  →H2O2/OH−BH3, THF  A\text{B} \; \xleftarrow[\text{NaBH}_4]{\text{Hg(OAc)}_2,\ \text{H}_2\text{O}} \; (\text{CH}_3)_2\text{C}=\text{CH}_2 \; \xrightarrow[\text{H}_2\text{O}_2/\text{OH}^-]{\text{BH}_3,\ \text{THF}} \; \text{A}
  • A

    A =(CH3)2CH−CH2OH= (\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2\text{OH}, B =(CH3)3C−OH= (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{C}-\text{OH}

  • B

    A =(CH3)3C−OH= (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{C}-\text{OH}, B =(CH3)2CH−CH2OH= (\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2\text{OH}

  • C

    A =(CH3)3C−OH= (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{C}-\text{OH}, B =(CH3)3C−OH= (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{C}-\text{OH}

  • D

    A =(CH3)2CH−CH2OH= (\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2\text{OH}, B =(CH3)2CH−CH2OH= (\text{CH}_3)_2\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2\text{OH}
