1.	Device a scheme for the synthesis of n-butane using `CH_3I` as the only carbon source. Can you employ the reactions in your scheme to synthesis propane in fairly pure state ? Explain
Answer» `underset"Methyl iodide"(2CH_3I) underset"Wurtz reaction"overset"Na, dry ether"to underset"Ethane"(CH_3-CH_3) underset(or SO_2Cl_2 //ROOR)overset((i)Cl_2//hv)to underset"Ethyl chloride "(CH_3CH_2Cl)underset"Wurtz reaction"overset"Na, dry ether"tounderset"Butane"(CH_3CH_2-CH_2CH_3)` Propane cannot be synthesized by the above scheme in fairly pure state because Wurtz reaction reaction between `CH_3I` and `C_2H_5I` will give three products, i.e., ethane, propane and butane.
