        Step-1:

Methane reacts with chlorine in presence of sunlight and produce chloromethane(CH₃-Cl).
Methane reacts with chlorine in presence of sunlight and produce chloromethane(CH₃-Cl).




      
           Step-2:

Chloromethane reacts with aquous NaOH and produce methanol (CH₃-OH).

Chloromethane reacts with aquous NaOH and produce methanol (CH₃-OH).




      Step-3:

Methanol reacts with phosphorus triiodide(PI₃ )and produce iodomethane(CH₃-I).
Methanol reacts with phosphorus triiodide(PI₃ )and produce iodomethane(CH₃-I).





   Step-4:

Iodomethane(CH₃-I) reacts with KCN (alcoholic) and produce ethanenitrile(CH₃-CN).
Iodomethane(CH₃-I) reacts with KCN (alcoholic) and produce ethanenitrile(CH₃-CN)






Step-5:Ethanenitrile(CH₃-CN) is reduced by sodium(Na) and ethanol(CH₃-CH₂-OH) and we get ethanamine or ethyl amine(CH₃-CH₂-NH₂).





Step-6:Ethanamine or ethyl amine(CH₃-CH₂-NH₂) reacts with NOCl and produce chloroethane(CH₃-CH₂-Cl).



Step-7:Chloroethane(CH₃-CH₂-Cl) reacts with Zn-Cu +CH3OH and produce ethane(CH₃-CH₃).

      Ethane to Methane Conversion



Step-1:Ethane(CH₃-CH₃) reacts with chlorine in presence of sunlight and produce chloroethane(CH₃-CH₂-Cl).




Step-2:Chloroethane(CH₃-CH₂-Cl) reacts with aqueous KOH and produce ethanol(CH₃-CH₂-OH).




Step-3:Ethanol(CH₃-CH₂-OH) is oxidized by potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) and sulphuric acid and we get ehanal(CH₃-CHO).


Step-4:Ehanal(CH₃-CHO) is also oxidized by potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) and Sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) and we get ethanoic acid(CH₃-COOH).



Step-5:Ethanoic acid(CH₃-COOH) is heated with sodalime (NaOH+CaO).Thus one molecule CO₂ goes out and we get methane(CH₄).
