Heyy guys please tell me about wurtz synthesis???
Answers
Answer: 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.
Explanation:
Answer:
Abstract. This reaction is a sodium‐mediated coupling of two alkyl halides into a higher order of hydrocarbon and is generally known as the Wurtz synthesis. Analogously, the coupling between an alkyl halide and a Grignard reagent is referred to as the Grignard–Wurtz coupling.
The Wurtz reaction, named after Charles Adolphe Wurtz, is a coupling reaction in organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry and recently inorganic main group polymers, whereby two alkyl halides are reacted with sodium metal in dry ether solution to form a higher alkane
This is because it is more appropriate in case of compounds which have an even number of carbon atoms present whereas propane has only 3 carbon atoms
