In order to synthesis 1-phenylbutan-1-ol, you started the reaction with a hydration of prop-1-ene using the hydroboration method. Then you oxidized the intermediate with KMNO4. Finally, alkylation using C6HSMGB was performed to obtain the final product. However, the reaction was not successful. Analyse the reaction by explaining what happened to the reaction and provide the correct synthetic method.
