Ch. 17, #53

I worked through problem #53 for Ch. 17, so here you go.

The problem states:
Because bromocyclohexane is a secondary alkyl halide, both cyclohexanol and cyclohexene are formed when the alkyl halide reacts with hydroxide ion.  Suggest a method to synthesize cyclohexanol from bromocyclohexane that would form little or no cyclohexene.
