A) Wurtzs reaction
B) Clemmensen reaction
C) Cannizzaros reaction
D) Kolbes reaction
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The reaction of an alkyl halide and sodium metal in presence of dry ether is known as Wurtz reaction. In this reaction alkane is formed. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} Alkyl \\ halide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{R-X}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} Alkyl \\ halide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2Na+X-R}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{dryether}\] \[\underset{Alkane}{\mathop{RR+2NaX}}\,\]
