MCQ
Alkyl halide reacting with metallic sodium in dry ether solution is called:
  • A
    Friedel$-$crafts reaction
  • B
    Sandmeyer reaction
  • ✓
    Wurtz reaction
  • D
    Gabriels reaction
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
Wurtz reaction
The Wurtz reaction is a coupling reaction in which two alkyl halides are reacted with sodium metal in dry ether solution to form a higher alkane:
$2 \mathrm{RX}+2 \mathrm{Na} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}-\mathrm{R}+2 \mathrm{Na}^{+} \mathrm{X}^{-}$
