Answers

Answered by Dktanna

Answer:

Wurtz reaction is not preferred for the preparation of alkanes containing odd number of carbon atoms due to the formation of side products. For example, by starting with 1 -bromopropane and 1 - bromobutane, hexane and octane are the side products besides heptane.
