MCQ
Formation of alkane by the action of $Zn$ on alkyl halide is called
  • Frankland's reaction
  • B
    Wurtz reaction
  • C
    Cannizzaro reaction
  • D
    Kolbe's reaction

Answer

Correct option: A.
Frankland's reaction
a
$(i)$ wurtz reaction

$2 RX +2 Na \stackrel{\text { Ether }}{\longrightarrow} \underset{\text { alkane }}{ R - R }$

$(ii)$ Kolbe's reaction

$RCOONa + H _2 O \stackrel{\text { Electrolysis }}{\longrightarrow} \underset{\text { alkane }}{ R - R }$

$(iii)$ Ulmann's reaction

$2 C _6 H _5 I +2 Cu \rightarrow \underset{\text { biphenyl } }{ C _6 H _5}- C _6 H _5$

$(iv)$ Frankland reaction

$\underset{\text { alkyl halide }}{2 RX }+ Zn \rightarrow \underset{\text { alkane }}{ R - R }$
