First step in the given reaction is "Lucas test" in which alcohols react with HCl∕ZnCl2 to give alkyl halides.Second step proceed via nucleophilic substitution bimolecular (SN2) mechanism. Here, I−replaces Cl to form alkyl iodide.Third step is "Wurtz reaction" in which two alkyl iodide reacts with Na in presence of dry ether to form alkane with even number of carbon atoms.
