Answer:

Alcohols are compounds which contain one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups directly attached to a carbon chain. Alcohols in the free-form are not a common occurrence in nature; they are found mainly in the essential or volatile oils obtained from flowers, leaves, and stems of the plants.

General Methods of Preparation of Alcohols

1. Hydrolysis of Halides

Alkyl halides when boiled with an aqueous solution of an alkali hydroxide give alcohol through nucleophilic substitution mechanism.

R-X + KOH → R-OH + KX

This general procedure produces primary and secondary alcohols. Glycerol can be synthesized from propylene by a series of reactions including the hydrolysis of a halide as one step in the process
