Answer 1

Dear Student,

(i) CH_​3CH₂CH₃+Br_{2$\stackrel{AlB{r}_3}{\to }$} CH_​3CH₂CH_2​Br$\stackrel{aq.NaOH}{\to }$CH_​3CH₂CH_​2OH$\underset{443}{\overset{H_{2}S{O}_4}{\to }}$CH_​3CH=CH₂$\stackrel{H_3{O}^{+}}{\to }$CH_​3CHOHCH3
(ii)(CH₃)₂C=CH₂+H₂O+[O]$\to$(CH₃)₂OHCH₂OH$\stackrel{\left[O\right]}{\to }$(CH₃)₂C=O+CH₃COOH
(iii)C₆H₅COOH+NaOH​$\to$C₆H₅COONa$\underset{sodalime}{\overset{∆}{\to }}$C₆H6
