to convert acetic acid to ethane Lets convert this acetic acid to ammonium acetate then from that we can convert it to Acetamide and form that it can be converted to acetonitrile.Now from acetonitrile it can easily converted to any X-CH3 where X is a halogen and from that X-CH3 it can be converted to ethane by wurtz reaction beacuase ethane has even number of carbon atom. 1.CH3COOH→CH3COONH4 2. CH3CONH4→CH3CONH2 3. CH3CONH2→CH3CN 4. CH3CN+KBr→CH3Br 5. CH3Br+2Na+BrCH3→CH3-CH3+2NaBr Here in Reaction 1) NH3 is added with heat. 2)P2O5 is added with heat. 3)P2O5 is added with heat 4)its an nucleophilic substitution reaction. 5)its called wurtz reaction.
