Question

Write short note on
1) Wurtz reaction
2) Kolbe's electrolytic method
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 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.

Named after: Charles Adolphe Wurtz.

2. The electrochemical oxidative decarboxylation of carboxylic acid salts that leads to radicals, which dimerize. It is best applied to the synthesis of symmetrical dimers, but in some cases can be used with a mixture of two carboxylic acids to furnish unsymmetrical dimers.
