Outline the synthesis of the following alcohols from the indicated starting material
Isopropyl alcohol from propane

Explanation

To synthesize isopropyl alcohol (also known as 2-propanol) from propane, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Chlorination of Propane
1. Start with propane (C3H8), which has the structure CH3-CH2-CH3.
2. Subject propane to chlorination (halogenation) in the presence of chlorine gas (Cl2) and ultraviolet light (hv) at a temperature of about 298 K.
3. This reaction will lead to the formation of two products:
- 1-chloropropane (CH3-CH2-CH2Cl) - 45% yield
- 2-chloropropane (CH3-CHCl-CH3) - 55% yield (this is the major product)
