How will you synthesise ethyl bromide into propionic acid?

Convert the ethyl bromide into Grignard's reagent, ethyl magnesium bromide then allow to react with dry ice (Solid carbon dioxide) then acidic hydrolysis produces the propionic acid. CH3-Br + Mg --- anhydrous ether---> CH3-CH2-Mg-Br CH3-CH2-Mg-Br + CO2 ----H+/H2O---> CH3-CH2-COOH
