The reaction is shown below,
Step 1: Hydration of Alkene:
In first step Ethene is hydrated to Ethanol through Hydroboration Reaction.
Step 2: Oxidation of Primary Alcohol:
In this step partial oxidation of ethanol is carried out using mild Oxidizing agent <span>Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) and Acetaldehyde is produced.
Step 3: Reduction of Acetaldehyde followed by Oxidation:
In this step, first acetaldehyde is reduced to secondary alcohol using grignard reagent. After that the sec. alcohol is oxidized to ketone by using oxidizing agent CrO</span>₃.
