Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a method for synthesizing alcohols?
Correct Answer: All methods are correct
  • Step 1: Understand that alcohols are organic compounds that contain a hydroxyl group (-OH).
  • Step 2: Learn about the methods to synthesize alcohols.
  • Step 3: Identify the first method: Hydration of alkenes, which involves adding water to an alkene to form an alcohol.
  • Step 4: Identify the second method: Reduction of aldehydes, which involves converting an aldehyde (a type of carbonyl compound) into an alcohol using reducing agents.
  • Step 5: Identify the third method: Reduction of ketones, which is similar to the reduction of aldehydes but involves converting a ketone into an alcohol.
  • Step 6: Conclude that all these methods can be used to synthesize alcohols.
