By Wurtz reaction of ethyl bromide with sodium metal.
Ethyl bromide react with Grignard reagentCH3-CH2-Br + CH3-Mg_Br
Mix Ethanol with Stearic Acid, use Sulfuric Acid as catalyst. Sulfuric Acid can be pre-diluted into the Ethanol. Boil the mixture under reflux. may need to do a few times after each reaction cycle, to use water to wash out the access ethanol & reaction by-product = water. Then re do the same, mix ethanol+sulfuric acid into the partial reactants (Stearic acid + Ethyl stearate) to fully convert the Stearic acid into Ethyl stearate.
the reaction of a ketone or aldehyde with di-ethyl succinate in the presence of strong base like t-BuOK/t-BuOH producing alpha-methylene di-ethyl succinate is known as "Stobbe Reaction".
ethyl ethanoate
By Wurtz reaction of ethyl bromide with sodium metal.
ethyl magnesium bromide to propanol
Ethyl bromide react with Grignard reagentCH3-CH2-Br + CH3-Mg_Br
ethyl nitrite
the main products are : ethyl acetate, acetaldehyd, acetic acid, hydrobromic acid and ethyl bromide
ethyl bromide is C2H5Br
By Wurtz reaction Butane is formed.
acetone + ethyl magnesium bromide = 2-methyl-2-butanol
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
Ethyl mercaptan
multiplied by 1/4
When ethyl chloride is reduced with atomic hydrogen ethane and HCl are formed, Zn + 2HCl -------> ZnCl2 + 2[H] CH3-CH2-Cl + 2[H] -----> CH3-CH3 + HCl
