Ethane cannot be directly prepared from iodoethane. However, iodoethane (also known as ethyl iodide) can be converted to ethane through a series of chemical reactions involving dehydrohalogenation or Wurtz reaction. This typically involves using strong bases like sodium or potassium hydroxide to remove the iodine atom from iodoethane and convert it to ethane.
