Describe the chemical properties of alcohols using hexanol-1 as an example (all possible reactions)

Let’s write down the reaction equations for alcohol:
2С6Н13ОН + 9О2 = 6СО2 + 7Н2О – combustion reaction, carbon dioxide and water are released;
С6Н13ОН + CuO = C6H12COH + H2O + Cu – oxidation, hexanal was obtained:
С6Н13ОН = Н2О + С6Н12 – dehydration, hexene was formed;
2C6H13OH + 2Na = 2C6H13ONa + H2 – substitutions, sodium alcoholate and hydrogen were obtained;
C6H13OH + HCl = C6H13Cl + H2O – hydrohalogenation, chlorhexane was isolated;
С6Н13ОН + СН3СООН = СН3СОО – С6Н13 + Н2О – esterification reaction, ethyl acetate was obtained.
These reactions confirm the chemical activity of hexanol – 1 due to the functional group – OH.
