● Ethanol to propanol -

Ethanol is converted to propanol in following steps -

# Step I -

Ethanol is first treated with KCN to form ethyl cyanide.

CH3CH2OH + KCN --> CH3CH2CN + KOH

Ethyl cyanide is then treated with water to form propanoic acid.

CH3CH2CN + 2H2O --> CH3CH2COOH + NH3

Propanoic acid gets reduced by LiAlH4 to form propanol.

CH3CH2COOH + 4[H] --> CH3CH2CH2OH + H2O

Hope this helped you...
