5CH3CH2CH2OH + 4KMnO4 + 6H2SO4 ----> 5CH3CH2COOH + 2K2SO4 + 4MnSO4 + 11H2O
CH3CH2COOH + NaOH -----> CH3CH2COONa + H2O
2CH3CH2COONa + 2H2O ----> CH3CH2CH2CH3 + 2NaOH + H2 + 2CO2 (электролиз)
CH3CH2COONa + NaOH -----> CH3CH3 + Na2CO3
CH3CH3 + Cl2 -----> CH3CH2Cl + HCl
2CH3CH2Cl + 2 Na ---> CH3CH2CH2CH3 + 2NaCl
