Remember, the Wurtz-Fittig reaction involves the coupling of both alkyl and aryl halides with sodium, forming a variety of alkylated or arylated products.
The reaction shown in the question is a Wurtz-Fittig reaction. This reaction involves the reaction of an alkyl halide (R-X) with sodium in dry ether, leading to the formation of an alkane (X) or an alkylated product (Y). It is a combination of the Wurtz reaction (for alkyl halide formation) and the Fittig reaction (for aryl halide formation).
The Wurtz reaction involves the coupling of two alkyl halides with sodium to form alkanes.
The Fittig reaction involves the coupling of aryl halides in the presence of sodium to form biaryl compounds.
The Wurtz-Fittig reaction is a combination of both reactions and is used to form aryl and alkyl products.
