see,I'm assuming that you don't want to use any other org compound as a reagent.otherwise the procedure may be short
1.ozonolysis.u get glyoxal.
2.reduce glyoxal using red P.ethane is formed
3.HBr is added product is ethyl bromide.
4.take one molecule and oxidize it to ehanoic acid
.5.decarboxylation.you get methane
6.add HBr to get methyl bromide
7.corey house synthesis. you get propane
8.HVZ reaction.product is 2 br propane
.9.alcoholic KOH
10. HBr with peroxide you get 1 bromo propane
11.aq.KOH followed by oxidation.finally u get propanoic acid
