Question:

You are working in a laboratory, and you are given the task of converting cyclopentene into 1,5 pentanediol. Your first thought is simply to perform an ozonolysis followed by reduction with LAH, but your lab is not equipped for an ozonolysis reaction. Suggest an alternative method for converting cyclopentene into 1,5-pentanediol. For help, see Section 13.4 (reduction of esters to give alcohols).
