Reason : Stannous chloride is a powerful oxidising agent which oxidises mercuric chloride to metallic mercury.
$CHCl_3\xrightarrow[hv]{O_2}[A]\xrightarrow{EtOH}[B]\xrightarrow{2\ mole\ MeMgBr}$
$[C]\xrightarrow{CaOCl_2}[D]\xrightarrow{\Delta}CH_3-\underset{\underset{O}{||}}{C}-CH_3$

$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{C{H_3}CH = C{H_2} + {H_2}O\overset {{H^ + }} \longleftrightarrow C{H_3} - CH - C{H_3}} \\
