Solution

Ethane can be converted to benzene as follows:
$C H_{3} - C H_{3} \to_{h v}^{B r_{2}} C H_{3} C H_{2} B r \overset{a l c . K O H}{\to} C H_{2} = C H_{2} \to_{C C l_{4}}^{B r_{2}} C H B r - C H B r \overset{a l c . K O H}{\to} C H \equiv C H E t h a n e E t h y n e 3 C H \equiv C H \to_{i r o n t u b e}^{r e d h o t} C_{6} H_{6} E t h y n e B e n z e n e$
