convert methanol to propan-2-ol
CH3OH + HCl-------- CH3Cl + H2O (in presence of anhydrousZnCl2,heat) [Groove's process]
CH3Cl + CH3CH2Cl + 2Na ---------------- CH3CH2CH3 + 2NaCl ( in presence of ether) [Wurtz reaction]
CH3CH2CH3 +Cl2 ---------------------- CH3CH(Cl)CH3 + CH3CH2CH2Cl ( in hv / and heat) [free radical chlorination]
CH3CH(Cl)CH3 +CH3CH2CH2Cl -------------------- CH3CH=CH2 ( in presence of alc. KOH, heat) [ E2 Elimination]
CH3CH=CH2-------- CH3CH(OH)CH3(major) ( step 1 - H2SO4 , step 2 - H2O ) [Hydration of alcohol]
CH3Cl + CH3CH2Cl + 2Na ---------------- CH3CH2CH3 + 2NaCl ( in presence of ether) [Wurtz reaction]
CH3CH2CH3 +Cl2 ---------------------- CH3CH(Cl)CH3 + CH3CH2CH2Cl ( in hv / and heat) [free radical chlorination]
CH3CH(Cl)CH3 +CH3CH2CH2Cl -------------------- CH3CH=CH2 ( in presence of alc. KOH, heat) [ E2 Elimination]
