Question

Convert ethanol to 2-propanol

Answer 1

When Ethanol is treated with dry ether and then  with water, 2 - propanol is achieved. The reaction has been shown in the attachment below 

Answer 2

Answer : The reaction conversions are shown below.

For this conversion there are two steps are involved which are,

Step 1 : When ethanol react with PCC in presence of $CH_2Cl_2$ then it gives ethanal as a product.

Step 2 : When ethanal react with Grignard reagent $CH_3MgBr$ in acidic medium then it gives 2-propanol as a product.

The reaction conversions are shown below.
