Question
How is methane prepared from methyl iodide?
Solution 1
When methyl iodide is reduced by nascent hydrogen at ordinary room temperature, then methane is formed.
CH3I + 2[H] → CH4 + HI
Solution 2
Methane is made from methyl iodide by reducing [CH3I] at room temperature with ethanol and nascent hydrogen from a zinc-copper pair.
CH3I + 2[H] → CH4 + HI
