To convert bromobenzene to benzyl alcohol in three steps, we can follow this procedure: ### Step 1: Nucleophilic Substitution - **React bromobenzene with potassium cyanide (KCN)** in the presence of a copper catalyst and heat. This will result in the substitution of the bromine atom with a cyanide group (–C≡N), forming benzyl cyanide (also known as phenylacetonitrile). **Reaction:** \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{Br} + \text{KCN} \xrightarrow{\text{Cu, heat}} \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{C} \equiv \text{N} \] ...
