Q. Which is suitable reagent for Wurtz reaction?

JIPMERJIPMER 2018Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

The most stable reagent for Wurtz reaction is Na/ether.
- Wurtz reaction is carried out under presence of Sodium metal which is highly reactive hence we have to select a solvent which is inert or less reative like ether.
