Hii....here is ur answer...☆☆♡♡♧♧♧♤♤◇◇

The Wurtz reaction, named after Charles Adolphe Wurtz, is a coupling reaction in organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry and recently inorganic main group polymers, whereby two alkyl halides are reacted with sodium metal in dry ether solution to form a higher alkane.

Answer 2

Answer:

wurtz reaction :-

• Wurtz's reaction is an organic chemical coupling reaction wherein sodium metal is reacted with two alkyl halides in the environment provided by a solution of dry ether in order to form a higher alkane along with a compound containing sodium and the halogen.

Example

we can obtain ethane by reacting methyl bromide with sodium in the presence of anhydrous ether or tetrahydrofuran.

KEY POINTS :-

Wurtz reaction is not preferred for the preparation of alkanes containing odd number of carbon atoms due to the formation of side products. For example, by starting with 1 -bromopropane and 1 - bromobutane, hexane and octane are the side products besides heptane.
