MCQ
Propene is allowed to react with $\text{B}_2 , \text{D}_6$ and the product is treated with acetic acid. The final product obtained is :
  • A
    $1-$ deuteriopropane
  • $2-$ deuteriopropane
  • C
    $1-$ deuteriopropene
  • D
    $2-$ deuteriopropene

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2-$ deuteriopropane
This is an example of hydroboration reaction $($followed by hydrolysis$)$ in which diborane is isotopically labeled.
A molecule of $\text{HD}$ is added across the double bond of propene to form $2-$ deuteriopropane.
$\text{CH}_2​\text{CHCH}_3\xrightarrow[​\text{CH}_3\text{​COOH}]{\text{B}_2\text{D}_6}\text{CH}_3​−\text{CHDCH}_3$​​.
