Detailed Solution
In the Conversion of propene to 1-propanol by oxidation the reagent used is B2H6 and alkaline H2O2 ,this reaction is also called hydroboration-oxidation reaction. During hydroboration-oxidation of alkenes addition of water to the double bond takes place in anti-Markownikoff fashion. Since negative part of water attached to higher number of hydrogen of carbon atom of unsymmetrical alkenes.
