Question

Develop reactions route to convert .
propyne to propanone
Methane to Ethane​

Answer 1

Answer:

H3C-C(triplebond)C-H (propyne) + H2O + HgSO4 + H(+) -->

CH3-C(=O)-CH3 (propanone, aka acetone)

In order to produce ethane from methane, first step is chlorination of methane.

Chlorination of methane is done in presence of sunlight using chlorine gas.

The reaction for chlorination of methane is shown below.

CH4 +Cl2 (h)υ→ CH3C l+ HCl

This chloromethane then undergoes Wurtz reaction as follows.

2CH3Cl + 2Na (Dry ether)→ CH3−CH3 + 2NaCl

Therefore, ethane can be produced from methane by chlorination of methane followed by Wurtz reaction.
