Making Alcohol

1. Reacting alkyl halides with KOH or AgOH

2. Acid reacting primary amines with nitrous acid

3. The reduction of carbonyl compounds is a compound containing the group C = 0

- Reduction alkanal produce primary alcohol

- Reduction alkanon produce secondary alcohols

4. synthesis of Grignard

Grignard compounds (alkyl magnesium kalida) is very important in making various kinds of alcohol. In addition RMgX reaction occurs at the carbonyl group by hydrolysis.
