A) Clemmensen reduction
B) Kolbe's reaction
C) Wurtz reaction
D) Cannizaro's reaction
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Correct answer is Wurtz reaction. An etheral solution of an alkyi halide is treated with odium metal. \[{{R}_{1}}X+2Na+X{{R}_{2}}\xrightarrow{Ether}{{R}_{1}}-{{R}_{2}}+2NaX\] where, \[X=Cl,\] \[Br\] \[R=-C{{H}_{3}},\] \[-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]etc \[C{{H}_{3}}Cl+2Na+C{{H}_{3}}Cl\xrightarrow{Ether}{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}+2NaCl\] Alkane are obtained by Wurtz reaction but methane cannot be obtained by Wuitz reaction.
