Alkyl halide and aryl halide react in the presence of sodium metal and dry ether. The name of the reaction is?
Show Hint
- Wurtz Reaction
- Wurtz-Fittig Reaction
- Fittig Reaction
- Williamson Ether Synthesis
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In the Wurtz-Fittig reaction, alkyl halides and aryl halides react in the presence of sodium metal in dry ether to form alkyl aryl compounds: \[ C_6H_5Cl + CH_3Cl + 2Na \xrightarrow{\text{Dry Ether}} C_6H_5CH_3 + 2NaCl. \]
Explanation: Wurtz Reaction involves only alkyl halides. Fittig Reaction involves only aryl halides. Williamson Ether Synthesis is unrelated to this reaction.
Top Questions on Electrochemistry
- Given below are two statements :
1 M aqueous solution of each of $ Cu(NO_3)_2 $, $ AgNO_3 $, $ Hg_2(NO_3)_2 $; $ Mg(NO_3)_2 $ are electrolysed using inert electrodes, Given : $ E^0_{Ag^+/Ag} = 0.80V $, $ E^0_{Hg_2^{2+}/Hg} = 0.79V $, $ E^0_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} = 0.34V $ and $ E^0_{Mg^{2+}/Mg} = -2.37V $
Statement (I) : With increasing voltage, the sequence of deposition of metals on the cathode will be Ag, Hg and Cu
Statement (II) : Magnesium will not be deposited at cathode instead oxygen gas will be evolved at the cathode.
