Solution 1
\[\ce{CH3CH2OH ->[SOCl2, pyridine][-SO2, -HCl] \underset{chloroethane (A)}{CH3CH2-Cl}}\]
\[\ce{HC ≡ CH + NaNH2 ->[liquid NH3,196 K] \underset{sodium acetylide (B)}{HC ≡ C^-Na^+}}\]
\[\ce{A + B -> \underset{but-1-yne}{CH3CH2-C} ≡ CH + NaCl}\]
Solution 2
\[\ce{2CH3CH2OH + SOCl2 -> 2CH3CH2Cl + SO2\uparrow + HCl\uparrow}\]
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3CH2Cl ->[alc.KOH/\Delta]CH2 = CH2 ->[Br2/CCl4]CH2 - CH2->[alc.KOH/\Delta]HC ≡ CH->[NaNH2][liq. NH3, 196K]HC ≡ \overset{Θ}{C}\overset{⊕}{N}a}\\

\[\ce{CH3 - CH2 - Cl + N\overset{+}{a}\overset{Θ}{C} ≡ CH-> \underset{But-1-yne}{CH3 - CH2 - C ≡ CH}}\]
