Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around the possibility of converting CH3Cl (methyl chloride) to CH3CH2Cl (ethyl chloride) in a single step. Participants explore various methods and contexts for this conversion, including potential applications and commercial production methods.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant questions whether the conversion can occur in one step.
- Another participant asks for clarification on the context of the question, suggesting it may relate to schoolwork or practical applications.
- A different participant proposes that the conversion would likely involve methane and the production of H2, mentioning the need for oxygen and suggesting hydrogen peroxide as a possible reactant.
- Some participants inquire about methods to prepare CH3CH2Cl, indicating a desire for specific procedures or reactions.
- Repeated requests for answers highlight a lack of response to earlier questions posed by participants.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
The discussion does not reach a consensus on the feasibility of the conversion or the methods to achieve it. Multiple viewpoints and questions remain unresolved.
Contextual Notes
Participants express uncertainty regarding the specific conditions and reactants required for the conversion, as well as the practical implications of the process.

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
