MCQ
Alkyl halide reacting with metallic sodium in dry ether solution is called:
- AFriedel$-$crafts reaction
- BSandmeyer reaction
- ✓Wurtz reaction
- DGabriels reaction
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Wurtz reaction
The Wurtz reaction is a coupling reaction in which two alkyl halides are reacted with sodium metal in dry ether solution to form a higher alkane:
$2 \mathrm{RX}+2 \mathrm{Na} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{R}+2 \mathrm{Na}^{+} \mathrm{X}^{-}$
$2 \mathrm{RX}+2 \mathrm{Na} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{R}+2 \mathrm{Na}^{+} \mathrm{X}^{-}$
