Question

Which of the following reactions is used for producing symmetrical alkane with double carbon atoms? (A) Sandmeyer’s reaction (B) Wurtz reaction (C) Gattermann reaction (D) Riemer-Tiemann reaction

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In Wurtz reaction, alkyl halides react with metallic sodium in presence o f dry ether to form symmetrical alkanes containing double the number o f carbon atoms present in the alkyl halide

R — X + 2 N a + X — R Dry ether R — R + 2 N a X

Q. Which of the following reactions is used for producing symmetrical alkane with double carbon atoms?

Sandmeyer’s reaction

Wurtz reaction

Gattermann reaction

Riemer-Tiemann reaction

In Wurtz reaction, alkyl halides react with metallic sodium in presence o f dry ether to form symmetrical alkanes containing double the number o f carbon atoms present in the alkyl halide R—X+2Na+X—RDry ether​R—R+2NaX

In Wurtz reaction, alkyl halides react with metallic sodium in presence o f dry ether to form symmetrical alkanes containing double the number o f carbon atoms present in the alkyl halide
$R — X + 2 N a + X — R Dry ether R — R + 2 N a X$
