Ethanol is converted to chloroethane and Cl can be replaced by I.
$\text{C}_2\text{H}_2\text{OH}+\text{HCl}\xrightarrow{ \ \text{ZnCl}_2 \ \ }\text{C}_2\text{H}_2\text{Cl}\xrightarrow{ \ \text{Nal} \ \ \ }\text{C}_2\text{H}_2\text{I}$
$\text{C}_2\text{H}_2\text{OH}+\text{HCl}\xrightarrow{ \ \text{ZnCl}_2 \ \ }\text{C}_2\text{H}_2\text{Cl}\xrightarrow{ \ \text{Nal} \ \ \ }\text{C}_2\text{H}_2\text{I}$
