Subjective Type

Show by chemical equation how would you prepare the following from the indicated starting materials. Specify the regents in each steps of synthesis of: Hexachloroethane $$(C_2Cl_6)$$ from calcium carbide.

Solution

$$CaC_2+H_2O\rightarrow C_2H_2+Ca(OH)_2$$

$$C_2H_2\xrightarrow{Ni/H_2}CH_2-CH_3$$

$$CH_3-CH_2\xrightarrow[prolonged\,treatment]{Cl_2(excess)ligh}Cl_3C-CCl_3$$
Hexachloroethane
