How to get aminoacetic acid from methane (or it is also called glycine).

1) 2 СН4 = С2Н2 + 3 Н2 (at temperatures above 1500, decomposition, acetylene and hydrogen),
2) C2H2 + H2 = C2H4 (hydrogenation, ethylene),
3) С2Н4 + Н2О = С2Н5ОН (hydration, ethanol),
4) С2Н5ОН + CuO = CH3COH + Cu + H2O (heating – oxidation, acetaldehyde),
5) CH3COH + Ag2O = CH3COOH + 2 Ag (heating – oxidation, acetic acid),
6) CH3COOH + Cl2 = Cl -CH2-COOH + HCl (in the light – substitution, chloroacetic acid),
7) Cl -CH2-COOH + NH3 = NH2-CH2-COOH + HCl (chloroacetic acid and hydrogen chloride).
