The discussion revolves around the conversion of CH3CH2Cl (ethyl chloride) and whether it can be achieved in a single step. The context of the inquiry is unclear, prompting questions about its purpose, such as whether it relates to academic work or practical applications. The conversation suggests that producing CH3CH2Cl typically starts with ethylene (C2H4) and may involve hydrogen production, possibly through methane. Additionally, there is a mention of the need for oxygen to react with hydrogen, with hydrogen peroxide proposed as a potential reactant. The dialogue highlights a lack of clarity in the original question, leading to repeated requests for more information.

What is the context of your question? Is this for schoolwork? If not, what do you want to use the CH3CH2Cl for?

It would have to involve methane I expect, and that would mean H2 being produced.
Then you need Oxygen to combine with that H2 ideally, maybe Hydrogen peroxide would do it.
I looked at ways CH3CH2Cl is produced commercially and it's done starting with ethylene, C2H4
