I. Synthesis of esters from alcohols and acids is a well-known and common synthetic procedure.
II. Synthesis of ethers from acids and alcohols is not a plausible synthetic procedure as ethers are typically synthesized by an acid-catalyzed reaction between two alcohols. 
III. Synthesis of amides from acids and amines is a well-known and common synthetic procedure. 
IV. Synthesis of alcohols from alkanes and water is not a plausible synthetic procedure as alkanes are typically unreactive towards water. 
V. Synthesis of aldehydes from alcohols and oxidizing agents is a well-known and common synthetic procedure.
