Question

How will you bring about the following conversion?

Ethane to bromoethene

Answer 1

\[\ce{C2H6 ->[Br2/UV light]C2H5Br ->[KOH(alc{.}), \Delta][-HBr] \underset{Ethene}{CH2 = CH2} ->[Br2/CCl4] \underset{1, 2-Dibromoethane}{Br2 - CH2 - CH2 - Br} ->[KOH(alc{.}), \Delta]\underset{Bromoethene}{CH2 = CHBr}}\]
