for this we have to increase carbon number i.e. step up
so we can use wurtz reaction followed by reaction with cynide followed by hydrolysis then reduction of carboxylic acid.
CH3OH + PCl5 ----- CH3Cl +Na ------------ CH3CH3 + Cl2 ---------- CH3CH2Cl + CN --------------- CH3CH2CN + H2O ------------- CH3CH2COOH + NaBH4 ----------------- CH3CH2CH2OH
hope this helps u
