Answer» SOLUTION :`CH_3COOH overset(NaOH_((aq)))(rarr) CH_3COONa underset(Detla)overset("SODA lime")(rarr)CH_4` `underset(hv)overset(Cl_2)(rarr)CH_3Cl underset("Wurtz reaction")overset("Na/dryether")(rarr)C_2H_6overset(Cl_2)(rarr)C_2H_5Cl` `overset("alc. KOH")(rarr)CH_2 = CH_2overset(Br_2)(rarr)overset(CH_2Br)overset(\|)(CH_2Br)overset(alc. KOH)(rarr)` `CH_2 =CHBR overset(NaNH_2)(rarr)CH -=CH underset(873K)overset("RED hot FE")(rarr)`
