Among the following, the suitable reagent for Wurtz reaction is

Among the following, the suitable reagent for Wurtz reaction is

Options

  1. ANa /alcohol
  2. BNa /ether
  3. CZn/ether
  4. DZn/alcohol

Correct answer

B. Na /ether

Step-by-step solution

The suitable reagent for Wurtz reaction is Na/\mathrm{Na} / ether. An ethereal solution of an alkyl halide is treated with sodium to produce higher alkanes. This reaction involves the formation of new C−\mathrm{C}-C\mathrm{C}bond.e.g.bond. e.g.\underset{ Ethyl bromide \text{ Ethyl bromide }}{CH3CH2Br+\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br}+2 Na\mathrm{Na}}+CH3\mathrm{CH}_3Br\mathrm{Br}\xrightarrow{ Ether \text{ Ether }} \underset{ Propane \text{ Propane }}{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3}
