Question

Pl. answer quickly. I will mark the answer as brainliest.
If isopropyl chloride and ethyl chloride both react with Na in presence of dry ether which alkanes are obtained?

Please explain in detail.

Answer 1

This reaction is very similar to Wurtz-fittig reaction, where alkyl and aryl halides are converted into alkanes using Na in dry ether.

This is 'not' an example of Wurtz reaction, as an important note under it states that only symmetric alkanes are formed.

(As the only dissimilarity is that, the formed product in this case is not symmetrical)

The answer is in the attachment below.

Hope it helps!!
