Which of the following alkane cannot be made in good yield by Wurtz reaction?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
NOT AVAILABLE
Wurtz reaction is used to prepare symmetrical
Alkanes like R 1 – R 1 , as
Dry ether R 1 – R 1 + 2NaX
If R 1 and R 2 are different, then mixture of alkanes maybe obtained as
Dry ether
R 1 – R 1 + R 1 - R 2 + R 2 - R 2 + 2NaX
n-Heptane is unsymrnetrical.
