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

Answer

When 1-chloropentane is treated with NaOH, pentan-1-ol is produced.$\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{Cl}+\text{NaOH}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{OH}+\text{NaCl}\\ \text{1-Chloropentane} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Pantan-1-ol}$
