    Wurtz's reaction involves the reduction of alkyl halide with:

    A)  \[Zn/HCl\]                         

    B)  \[HI\]

    C)  \[Zn/Cu\]couple             

    D)   \[Na\]is ether

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Write Wurtz reaction                 \[\underset{alkyl\,\,halide}{\mathop{2R-X}}\,+\underset{sodium}{\mathop{2Na}}\,\xrightarrow{ether}\underset{alkane}{\mathop{R-R}}\,+2NaX\] \[\therefore \]\[Na\]in ether is correct answer.
