Question

preparation of alkanes by reduction of alkyl halides​

Answer 1

Answer:

》Alkyl halides (except alkyl fluorides) on reduction with zinc and dilute hydrochloric acid produce alkanes.

》Haloalkanes (Alkyl halides) react with metallic sodium in dry ether to form symmetrical alkanes with double the number of carbon atoms present in the alkyl halide. This reaction is known as Wurtz reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Preparation of Alkanes
