CH4 + Cl2/light ------> CH3Cl
CH3Cl + Na/ether --------> CH3-CH3
above reaction is wurtz reaction
CH3-CH3 + Cl2/light ----------> CH3-CH2-Cl
CH3-CH2-Cl + Li/ether ------------> CH3CH2Li
CH3CH2Li + CuI ----------> (CH3CH2)2CuLi
(CH3CH2)2CuLi + CH3Br ---------> CH3-CH2-CH3 (propane)
above reaction is corey house synthesis
hope this helps you....
