Question

how would you convert the following 1.ethane to Ethanenitrile​

Answer 1

CH₃-CH₃ + Cl₂ (Mono clorination) = CH₃CH₂Cl

(ethane)

CH₃CH₂Cl + OH⁻ = CH₃CH₂OH

CH₃CH₂OH + KMnO₄ = CH₃COOH (acidification)

CH₃COOH + Na = CH₃COONa

CH₃COONa + NaOH = CH₄ + Na₂CO₃ (Decarboxylation)

CH₄ + Cl₂ = CH₃Cl

CH₃Cl + NaCN = CH₃CN (ethane nitrile)

Converting ethane to propane nitrile =

CH₃CH₃ (Mono chlorination) = CH₃CH₂Cl

CH₃CH₂Cl + NaCN = CH₃CH₂CN (propane nitrile)
