1. Step 1 (Alcohol substitution): Convert 2-hexanol to 2-bromohexane with HBr or PBr₃.
   Reactants: CCCCC(C)O
   Products: CCCCC(C)Br
   No literature evidence
2. Step 2 (Grignard + aldehyde): Assemble 2-hexanol from butylmagnesium bromide and acetaldehyde. The Grignard addition gives the secondary alcohol directly—no separate reduction step.
