There are many ways to do this reaction. Here are the steps of how I would approach it on paper.
Wittig reaction
CH2O+Ph3PCH2CH2O+Ph3PCH2→CH2=CH2+Ph3P=OCH2=CH2+Ph3P=O
2. Hydration of Ethene.
CH2=CH2+H2O/H2SO4catCH2=CH2+H2O/H2SO4cat → CH3CH2OHCH3CH2OH
3. Jones Oxidation of Ethanol
CH3CH2OH+(CrO3+H2SO4+H2O)/AcetoneCH3CH2OH+(CrO3+H2SO4+H2O)/Acetone → Acetic Acid
