Propan-1-ol (also propanol, n-propyl alcohol) is a primary alcohol with the formula CH3CH2CH2OH and sometimes represented as PrOH or n-PrOH. It is a colourless liquid and an isomer of 2-propanol.

Best answer. (i) If propene is allowed to react with water in the presence of an acid as a catalyst, then propan-2-ol is obtained. (ii) If benzyl chloride is treated with NaOH (followed by acidification) then benzyl alcohol is produced.

How will you bring about the following conversions ? Propene to 1-nitropropane

What is acid catalyzed hydration? Acid catalyzed hydration is a chemical reaction in which water adds to an unsaturated substrate under the influence of an acid catalyst. An example is the hydration of ethene. CH₂=CH₂ + H-OH → H-CH₂-CH₂-OH The common acid catalysts are sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid.
