Explanation:
Ethanoic acid can be converted into acetaldehyde first and then to ethane by suitable reducing agent like hydrazine . Ethane can undergo halogenation to produce bromo ethane . Bromo ethane further with metallic sodium forms butane . Butane can be converted to bromobutane then to butanol by using aqueos KOH . This can be oxidised tu butanoic acid.
