Question

convert ethyne to butane​

Answer 1

Answer:

IG:- @MOKSHADD

Explanation:

Ethane can be converted to Butane by the process of Wurtz Reaction. Wurtz reaction is the reaction in which the form of coupling reaction where two lower alkyl halides are reacted in the presence of a dry ether medium and sodium metal to form a higher alkane.

Answer 2

Corrected question:

Convert ethane to butane​

Corrected answer:

The steps to convert ethane to butane​ are as follows:

• The butane is generally prepared by the Wurtz reaction.
• So, when alkyl halides are treated with sodium, Na in presence of dry ether, alkanes are formed. Thus, the compound butane is prepared by the reaction of bromoethane with Na.
• The Wurtz reaction is also known as the coupling reaction where two lower alkyl halides are reacted in the presence of dry ether.
• The very first step is the photochemical halogenation process. Here, the ethane is reacted with Bromine in the presence of light.
• The second step is the reaction with metallic sodium and here the ethylene bromide is formed by treating with metallic sodium and dry ether to produce butane.
• The reactions of the following conversion are given by CH₃ −CH₃ +Br₂ ⟶CH₃−CH₂−Br (in presence of light) and the second reaction is 2CH₃ −CH₂ −Br Na/ether CH₃CH₂−CH₂CH₃ (Butane).
