A) Clemmensen's reduction
B) Kolbe's reaction
C) Wurtz reaction
D) Cannizaro's reaction
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
When alkyl halide reacts with sodium metal in presence of dry ether to give higher alkane. This reaction is called Wurtz reaction. eg, \[\underset{methyl\,iodide}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-I}}\,+2Na+I-C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{Dry\,ether}\] \[\underset{ethane}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,+2NaI\]You need to login to perform this action.
