Aldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second
molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water.

Starting with 1-pentanol identify any necessary reagents needed to make 1,2-epoxypentane
Propose two different methods to synthesize 1-octen-3-ol [CH3(CH2),CH(OH)CH=CH] using a Grignard reagent and a carbonyl
compound. 1-Octen-3-ol is commonly called matsutake alcohol because it was first isolated from the Japanese matsutake
mushroom.
