Explanation / Answer

The reagent is (a) BH3/THF (b) H2O2/OH-

The reason:

*The reagent yields an overall oxidation

*The reagent yields the anti-Markonikov product

"In this two-step process hydration of alkenes takes place in a stereospecific syn manner, with a

regioselectivity opposite to Markovnikov
