Step-1 CH_3CH_2COOHstackrel(NH_3)->CH_3CH_2COONH_4

Step-2
CH_3CH_2COONH_4stackrel(Delta)->CH_3CH_2CONH_2

Step-3
CH_3CH_2CONH_2stackrel(Br_2"/"NaOH(aq))->CH_3CH_2NH_2

Step-4
CH_3CH_2NH_2stackrel(NaNO_2"/dil"HCl)->CH_3CH_2OH

This conversion can be brought about by using Hoffman degradation reaction (step-3) following the steps as shown above.
