Step 1. Recall the hydroboration-oxidation mechanism (section 11.4.1). Diborane (B2H6) adds across an alkene's C=C bond, with boron attaching preferentially to the LESS hindered (less substituted) carbon; subsequent oxidation of the resulting trialkylborane with H2O2 in alkaline medium replaces the C-B bond with a C-OH bond at the SAME position boron occupied, WITHOUT any carbocation rearrangement -- this is the reaction's characteristic anti-Markovnikov regiochemistry.

Step 2. Apply to propene. Propene, CH3-CH=CH2, has a terminal (less substituted, CH2=) carbon and an internal (more substituted, =CH-CH3) carbon. Boron adds to the less hindered terminal carbon, so after oxidation the -OH group also ends up on that terminal carbon.

Step 3. Name the product. CH3-CH2-CH2-OH is propan-1-ol (n-propyl alcohol) -- the OH on C1, the terminal carbon -- in contrast to the Markovnikov (acid-catalysed hydration) product of propene, which would instead be propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol, OH on the more substituted internal carbon).

✓Final answer

Propan-1-ol (n-propyl alcohol), CH3-CH2-CH2-OH
