Q11 of 102 Page 310

How will you bring about the following conversions?

Ethane to bromoethene

The bromination of ethane (Br2 in the presence of light at 520-670K) gives bromoethane which on further treatment with alcoholic KOH results in the alkene called ethane which again on bromination with Br2/CCl4 gives dibromide(vicinal bromide) called 1,2-dibromoethane which on treatment with alcoholic KOH gives bromoethene as the final product.
