The reaction sequence involves the reaction of an alkene with HBr in the presence of peroxide to give an anti-Markovnikov product, which is 2-bromopropane. This is then reacted with NaOH in a nucleophilic substitution reaction to give propan-2-ol. The final step involves the oxidation of propan-2-ol with sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate to give propanone (acetone), which is compound III.
