You can obtain Butan - 2 - ol from the Butan - 2 - one using the below method;
During the starting process, alcohol gets oxidized to form the aldehyde or ketone, but the formation depends upon the position of the -OH group.
They get further oxidized to get the acid state.
These acids again get reduced to form the ALDEHYDE or KETONE. On further reduction, Butan - 2 - ol gets obtained.
LiAlH4, as well as NaBH4, can be used during the process as they are the good reducing agents.
