Question

Show how will you synthesise: pentan-1-ol using a suitable alkyl halide?

Answer 1

Pentanol can be prepared by the hydrolysis of Propyl bromide with dilute KOH or NaOH. CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - Br + Dil. KOH --> CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - OH + KBr

hope this helps you...

Answer 2

1-Pentanol can be set up by the hydrolysis of Propyl bromide with weaken KOH or NaOH.

CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - Br + Dil. KOH - > CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - OH + KBr.

Beyond any doubt it will make a powerful effect.
