Question

give the chemical equation for wurtz
reaction​

Answer 1

Wurtz Reaction. Wurtz reaction is an organic chemical coupling reaction wherein sodium metal is reacted with two alkyl halides in the environment provided by a solution of dry ether in order to form a higher alkane along with a compound containing sodium and the halogen.

hope it is helpful to you.

Answer 2

In Wurtz reaction, two alkyl halide molecules are coupled in presence of sodium metal in anhydrous ether or Tetrahydrofuran to form a new carbon carbon bond and thus by giving a symmetrical alkane.

2R–X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na+X− Where X = halogen
