(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Synthesis of 2-methyl-2-pentanol from 2-propanol of the given reaction should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Elimination: Two substituents are removed from the molecule in a single step is called E2 elimination.

Oxidation: Alcohols undergoing oxidation by using oxidizing agent like Na2Cr2O7 (chromic acid) which provides aldehyde or ketone.

Grignard reaction: Organomagnesium halide (Grignard reagent) undergoes reaction with a ketone or aldehyde to form an alcohol
