A simple pendulum has a bob with a mass of .50 kg. The cord has a length of 1.5 m, and the bob is displaced $20^circ$.
I am trying to use this expression to find the maximum velocity of the bob.
$$omega^2_f=2 alphatriangletheta$$
I get the following expression:
$$frac{v^2}{L^2}=2Lfrac{mgsintheta}{I}triangletheta$$
Is this expression correct to solve the question?

First of all, you should explain what your parameters are. But you seem to over complicate the problem. Write conservation of energy. At the bottom of the trajectory, we choose the potential energy to be $0$. Then you have only kinetic energy $frac 12 mv^2$. At the top of the trajectory, the bob is at rest, so kinetic energy is zero, and you have only potential energy. The height of the bob is $L(1-costheta)$, so $$mgL(1-costheta)=frac 12 mv^2$$
Notice that the velocity is independent of mass

You did not explain what the $alpha$ or $I$ or $omega_f$ are. I guessed that you they represent angular acceleration, moment of inertia, and angular velocity. However, the formula that you wrote cannot be used in this case. That formula is valid for constant $alpha$, which is not the case here. The torque depends on the angle between gravity and the cord.
