Answer 2

QUESTION:-

Haloalkanes can be converted to higher alkane by :

• (a) Kolbe's reaction
• (b) Wurtz reaction
• (c) coupling reaction
• (d) hydrolysis reaction

ANSWER:-

• (b) Wurtz reaction is the correct option.

EXPLANATION:-

• Wurtz Reaction is a reaction in which an alkyl halide reacts with metallic sodium in the composure of dry ether for the formation of a double number of carbon atoms present alkane in the alkyl halide of reactants. This reaction is called the Wurtz Reaction.

• In Wurtz's reaction which is a reaction of organic chemical coupling in which the sodium metal is reacted with two alkyl halides in the environment which is contributed by a dry ether solution for the conversion of haloalkanes to higher alkane along with a compound that contains sodium and the halogen.

• The extensive form of the equation of the Wurtz reaction is
• 2R-X + 2Na → R-R + 2Na+ X–

• From this reaction, we discover that the two R groups are joined to form an alkane with a chain longer along with NaX in which X is a Halogen.
