Question

explain wurtz reaction

Answer 1

☺☺☺HEY MATE YOUR ANSWER IS HERE. ....☺❤☺❤☺

Wurtz reaction is usually the first 'name reaction' one comes across in organic chemistry.

It provides a method for the synthesis of higher alkanes from alkyl halides by treating the latter with metallic sodium in dry ether.For instance, ethane can be obtained by treating methyl bromide with sodium in ether.

                          2CH3Br + 2Na = C2H6 + 2NaBr

Two molecules of the alkyl halide condense into a larger alkane molecule with the elimination of the halogen atoms as sodium halide.

If two different alkyl halides are taken together, a mixture of three alkanes will be obtained. Thus, if both methyl and ethyl iodides are reacted with sodium, along with propane, ethane and butane are also produced.

Answer 2

HEY DEAR HERE IS YOUR ANSWER ✌ ✌

it Is one of the oldest organic reactions nd produces the simple dimer derived from two equivalents of alkyl halide.

the Intramolecular Version of the reaction has also found application in the preparation of strained ring Compounds.

HOPE IT HELPS U.✌✌
