Question

An etheral solution of alkyl halide is heated with sodium metal. The reaction is known as (A) Franklands reaction (B) Sandmeyers reaction (C) Wurtz-Fittig reaction (D) Wurtz reaction

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

An etheral solution of an alkyl halide (preferably the bromide or iodide) when treated with metallic sodium gives an alkane having double carbons as that of parent halide. This reaction is known as Wurtz reaction.
