Question

 Propose a multistep synthesis to prepare the following compound

The image depicts a chemical reaction. On the left, there is a structural formula for 1-hexanol, which is an alcohol with the molecular formula C₆H₁₄O. The structure consists of a six-carbon chain with an -OH group at the end. The arrow pointing to the right suggests a chemical transformation, indicating that 1-hexanol is being converted into another compound. On the right, the structural formula shows hexanenitrile, also known as capronitrile, with the molecular formula C₆H₁₁N. This structure has a six-carbon chain ending in a cyano group (-C≡N). This reaction is illustrative of converting an alcohol into a nitrile, typically achieved through a dehydration process using specific reagents or catalysts.
