Industrial preperation of ethyne :
CaC2+2H2OΔCa(OH)2+C2H2Ethyne
Cyclic Polymerisation:
The process in which the repeating units are joined together end to end in a cyclic chain.This is the best route for
entering aromatic compounds from aliphatic compounds.
Ethyne on passing through a red hot iron tube at 873 K undergoes cyclic polymerisation to produce one molecule of benzene.

Three molecules of ethyne polymerise to give benzene.
