Question

How will you prepare Propanal from ethanal?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ethanoic acid then reacts with NaOH to give CH3COONa and its decarboxylation gives ethane. Ethane then is converted to chloroethane and by Wurtz's reaction CH3Na+ C2H5Cl gives propane. When propane is oxidised in presence of alkaline KMnO4 it gives propanal.
