Question

Write one equation each to show Wurtz reaction and Friedal craft alkylation.

Answer 1

WURTZ REACTION :
CH3Cl + 2Na + CH3Cl -----------> CH3CH3  + 2NaCl
Condition : ether used

FRIEDEL CRAFT ALKYLATION:
C6H5Cl + CH3CL ----------------> C7H7Cl + C7H6Cl + HCl
Conditions : Anhydrous AlCl3

Answer 2

Wurtz reaction :
                                       dry ether 
CH3Cl + 2Na + CH3Cl  ------------------------------->     C2H6  +  2NaCl

Friedal craft alkylation :
 
                                      AlCl3
C6H6  +  CH3Cl     -------------------------------->    C7H8  +  HCl
