Question

define wurtz reaction

Answer 1

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: 2R–X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na+X. −

Answer 2

heya friend!!☺
here's your answer!!☺☺

Wurtz reaction is method of preparation of higher alkanes from lower alkyl halides. This is coupling reaction. In this reaction alkyl halides are reacted with sodium metal in presence of dry ether.

hope it helps you!!☺☺
