Give chemical equations for the synthesis of the following compounds, starting with cyclopentane, `C_(5)H_(10)`, alcohols of three or fewer C's, HCHO and inorganic reagents.
Cyclopentanecarbaldehyde

Explanation

To synthesize cyclopentanecarbaldehyde starting from cyclopentane (C₅H₁₀), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Chlorination of Cyclopentane
First, we need to convert cyclopentane into a cyclic alkyl halide. This can be achieved through chlorination in the presence of light.

**Chemical Equation:**
\[ \text{C}_5\text{H}_{10} + \text{Cl}_2 \xrightarrow{\text{hv}} \text{C}_5\text{H}_9\text{Cl} + \text{HCl} \]
