    Propane is obtained from propene by which of the following methods?

    A)  Wurtz reaction

    B)  Dehydrogenation

    C)  Frankland reaction

    D)  Catalytic hydrogenation

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (i) Wurtz reaction: It is method of preparation of alkane by reaction between alkyl halide and sodium. \[2RX+2Na\xrightarrow{Ether}R-R+2NaX\] (ii) Dehydrogenation: It is method of formation of alkene from alkane. Hydrogen is removed from alkane during reaction. (iii) Frankland reaction: \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  alkyl \\  halide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{R\,\,X}}\,+Zn+X\,R\to \underset{alkane}{\mathop{R-R}}\,+Zn{{X}_{2}}\] It is method of preparation of alkane from alkyl halide. (iv) Catalytic hydrogenation: It is method of preparation of alkane from alkene. Hydrogen is added during this reaction. \[C{{H}_{2}}\underset{propene}{\mathop{=CH-}}\,C{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[+{{H}_{2}}O]{200-{{300}^{o}}C}\] \[\underset{propene}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
