Hello!!

Ethyl chloride can be converted to n-butane by Wurtz reaction where two molecules of ethyl chloride react with two atoms of sodium in the presence of anhydrous ether to yield a molecule of n-butane.

2CH3CH2Cl + 2Na −−−− CH3CH2CH2CH3 + 
2NaCl ethyl chloride                             n−butane

hope it helps
