Which of the following reactions can convert chlorobenzene into toluene?

Options

  1. AWurtz reaction
  2. BFittig reaction
  3. CWurtz-Fittig reaction
  4. DGrignard reaction

Correct answer

C. Wurtz-Fittig reaction

Step-by-step solution

Chlorobenzene is an aryl halide and toluene is an alkylarene (methylbenzene).

The reaction of an aryl halide with an alkyl halide in the presence of sodium metal and dry ether to form an alkylbenzene is known as the Wurtz-Fittig reaction.
