- D \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{2}-\mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{Br})-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{2}-\mathrm{CH}(\mathrm{Br})-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alkyl halides react with metallic Na in presence of dry ether to form symmetrical alkanes containing double the number of carbon atoms present in the alkyl halide.
This reaction is called Wurtz reaction.
This reaction is called Wurtz reaction.
