ROH + CH3CH2MgBr = CH3CH3

any compound containing active hydrogen on treating with ethyl magnesium bromide gives ethane

Treat C2H5MgX with H2O or alcohol or any other H+ ion donor, in this way ethane would be formed

grignard reagent are very reactive, they abstract H atom from any source of proton and forms alkanes.

 

to prepare ethane u can take CH3CH2MgCl +  H2O or dil HCl ------> CH3CH3

ethane could be produced with the by-product of R-OMgX, where R stands for the alkane, and X stands for the Halogen,
