Answer 1

The Wurtz–Fittig reaction is the chemical reaction of aryl halides with alkyl halides and sodium metal in the presence of dry ether to give substituted aromatic compounds. ... The reaction works best for forming asymmetrical products if the halide reactants are somehow separate in their relative chemical reactivities.
