View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Ph−CH2−CH2−CH2−OH{Ph}-{CH}_2-{CH}_2-{CH}_2-{OH}
Option D (Ph−CH2−CH2−CH2−OH{Ph}-{CH}_2-{CH}_2-{CH}_2-{OH}) is correct because the hydroboration-oxidation of styrene gives 2-phenylethanol, which then reacts with HBr to give 1-bromo-2-phenylethane. This reacts with Mg to form a Grignard reagent, which then reacts with formaldehyde to give 3-phenylpropan-1-ol.
