Question

Explain wurtz reaction and markonikov rule and decarboxylation with chemical equation

Answer 1

In wurtz reaction we take alkyl halide in the presence of sodium and dry ether and it gives alkane which has double carbon atoms than alkyl halide we take.It is of 3 types ---
1. Wurtz rxn
2. Wurtz fittig rxn
3. Fittig rxn

In markonikove's rule we take alkene mostly and the anionic part attack on the less substituted carbon i.e the carbon which has less number of Hydrogen and the cationic part attack on more substituted carbon i.e the carbon which has more number of Hydrogens.

In decarboxylation rxn we take carboxylic acid in presence of NaOH and CaO to form alkane one carbon less than the carbon atoms present in acid.
