  • Wurtz reaction
  • B
    Aldol condensation
  • C
    Perkin’s reaction
  • D
    Levit reaction

Wurtz reaction
a
Typically, you would react two alkyl halides to form an alkane that consists of their respective $R$ groups. So, as an example, you would have:

$CH _3 Br + CH _3 Cl \stackrel{ Na ( s )}{\longrightarrow} CH _3 CH _3$

(with loss of $NaCl$ and then $NaBr$ )
