Explain the mechanism of Wurtz Reaction _
Answers
Explanation:
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.

Hey there _!
▶ Wurtz Reaction is one of the method of preparation of Alkanes from Alkyl halides.
This reaction is also referred as Ascent of Chain, since no of carbon increases..
▶There are two possible mechanism of wurtz reaction viz, Free radical and anion mechanism.
