To carry out the conversions specified in the question, we will follow a systematic approach. Here are the step-by-step solutions for each conversion: ### (i) Toluene to Benzyl Alcohol 1. **Chlorination of Toluene**: React toluene (C6H5CH3) with Cl2 in the presence of sunlight to form benzyl chloride (C6H5CH2Cl). \[ \text{C6H5CH3} + \text{Cl2} \xrightarrow{\text{sunlight}} \text{C6H5CH2Cl} + \text{HCl} \] ...
