Bromomethane to Ethane

Method 1

Reaction of 2 moles of BromoMethane with Na in dry ether (Wurtz Reaction ) to give Ethane

Method 2 ( Longer )

Reaction of BromoMethne with aq KOH to give Methanol

Reaction of methanol with PCC to give Methanal

Reaction of Methanal with CH3MgX (Grignard Reagent ) in presence of acid to give Ethanol

Reaction of Ethanol with Zn -Hg to give Ethane ( Clemmensen reduction )

Answer 2

The chemical equation involved in the formation of ethane through Wurtz reaction is: The bromoethane is converted into ethane using Wurtz reaction. This reaction takes place with the sodium metal. This reaction involves nucleophilic substitution which forms an alkyl anion then it undergoes reaction to form alkane.
