Which of the product is not possible in Wurtz reaction?
- A Methane
- B Ethane
- C Propane
- D Butane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Methane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The Wurtz reaction involves the coupling of two alkyl halide molecules in the presence of sodium metal and dry ether to form a symmetrical alkane with an even number of carbon atoms. The general reaction is \(2RX + 2Na \rightarrow R-R + 2NaX\). Since the reaction involves the…
