1) CH4 + O2 = HCOH + H2O
HCOH + H2 (t,Ni)= CH3OH
CH3OH + HCl = CH3Cl + H2O
2CH3Cl + 2Na = 2NaCl + C2H6
C2H6 (t,Pt)= CH2=CH2 + H2
CH2=CH2 + H2O (t,H2SO4)= C2H5OH
C2H5OH + CuO (t)= CH3COH + Cu + H2O
CH3COH + Ag2O (t)= CH3COOH + 2Ag
CH3COOH + CH3OH (t,H2SO4)= CH3COOCH3 + H2O
2) 2CH4 (1500°)= C2H2 + 3H2
C2H2 + 2H2 (t,Ni)= C2H6
C2H6 (t,Pt)= C2H4 + H2
C2H4 + H2O = C2H5OH
C2H5OH + CuO (t)= CH3COH + Cu + H2O
CH3COH + Ag2O (t)= CH3COOH + 2Ag
CH3COOH + NaOH = CH3COONa + H2O
3) CH3COH + Ag2O (t)= CH3COOH + 2Ag
CH3COOH + Cl2 = CH2ClCOOH + HCl
CH2ClCOOH + NH3 = CH2NH2COOH + HCl
CH2NH2COOH + NaOH = CH2NH2COONa + H2O
