Question
Consider the reaction and identify B and C:
\[\ce{CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl ->[NaOH + Ethanol] A}\]
\[\ce{A ->[H2O, H^+] B}\] and \[\ce{A ->[(i) B2H6 (ii) H2O2, OH^-]C}\]
Options
B = C = Butanol
B = Butanol, C = Butene
B = Butan-2-ol, C = Butanol
B = Butene, C = Butan-2-ol

Solution
B = Butan-2-ol, C = Butanol
Explanation:
\[\ce{CH3CH2CH2CH2Cl ->[NaOH + Ethanol] CH3CH2CH = CH2}\]
\[\ce{CH3CH2CH = CH2 ->[H2O, H^+] CH3CH2CH(OH)CH2}\]
\[\ce{CH3CH2CH = CH2 ->[(i) B2H6 (ii) H2O2, OH^-] CH3CH2CH2CHOH}\]
