Question

The wurtz reaction, in organic chemistry is named after charles adolphe wurtz. It is a coupling reaction in organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry and inorganic main group polymers, wherein two alkyl halides are reacted with sodium metal. This reaction takes place in dry ether solution and a higher alkane is formed. You can see the basic equation of this reaction below: 2 rx + 2 na rr + 2 na+x

Answer 1

Wurtz reaction. 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.
