A mixture of three alkyl chloride C H 3 C l , C H 3 C H 2 C l , C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 C l under goes Wurtz coupling reaction. The product contains:
Options
- AEthane, pentane, hexane only
- BPropane, pentane, butane only
- CEthane, Propane, pentane, butane
- DEthane, Propane, butane, pentane, hexane
Correct answer
D. Ethane, Propane, butane, pentane, hexane
Step-by-step solution
Five products Ethane, Propane, butane, pentane, hexane will be formed The possible cases will be: I 2 C H 3 C l → N a C H 3 - C H 3 ⏟ e t h a n e I I 2 C H 3 C H 2 C l → N a C H 3 C H 2 - C H 2 C H 3 ⏟ b u tan e I I I 2 C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 C l → N a C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 - C H 2 C H 2 C H 3 ⏟ h e x a n e I V C H 3 C l + C H 3 C H 2 C l → N a C H 3 - C H 2 C H 3 ⏟ p r o p a n e V C H 3 C H 2 C l + C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 C l → N a C H 3 C H 2 - C H 2 C H 2 C H 3 ⏟ p e n tan e V I C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 C l + C H 3 C l → N a C H
