Single Choice
Which of the following alkane cannot be made in good yield by Wurtz reaction?
A2,3-Dimethylbutane
Bn-Heptane
Correct Answer
Cn-Butane
Dn-Hexane
Solution
Wurtz reaction is a reaction in which alkyl halide is converted to alkane by Na/ether. It is limited to the synthesis of symmetrical alkanes.
As we know that n-Heptane involves odd no. of Carbon hence it won't be produced by this method. Rest molecules can be formed by Wurtz reaction.
Option B is correct.
