H2C=CH2 + CO + H2 → CH3CH2CH=O
CH3CH2CH=O + H2 → CH3CH2CH2OH

Other proposed industrial processes include the two-step isomerization and hydrogenation of propylene oxide.
A traditional laboratory preparation of Propyl alcohol involves treating n-propyl iodide with moist Ag2O.

HISTORY of PROPYL ALCOHOL:
Propyl alcohol was discovered by Gustave Chancel in 1853 by fractional distillation of fusel oil.
He measured Propyl alcohol's boiling point at 96°C, correctly identified its empirical formula, studied some of its chemical properties and gave it two names: propionic alcohol and hydrate of trityl.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Propyl alcohol was synthesized independently and by two different routes by Eduard Linnemann and Carl Schorlemmer in 1868.

OCCURRENCE of PROPYL ALCOHOL:
Fusel alcohols like Propyl alcohol are grain fermentation byproducts, and therefore trace amounts of Propyl alcohol are present in many alcoholic beverages.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of PROPYL ALCOHOL:
Some example reactions of Propyl alcohol.
Propyl alcohol shows the normal reactions of a primary alcohol.

Thus Propyl alcohol can be converted to alkyl halides; for example red phosphorus and iodine produce n-propyl iodide in 80% yield, while PCl3 with catalytic ZnCl2 gives n-propyl chloride.

Oxidation of Propyl alcohol with Na2Cr2O7 and H2SO4 gives a 36% yield of propionaldehyde, and therefore for this type of reaction higher yielding methods using PCC or the Swern oxidation are recommended.
