In Wurtz reaction alkyl halide react with

A

Sodium in ether

B

Sodium in dry ether

C

Sodium only

D

Alkyl halide in ether

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Alkyl halides give alkane when react with sodium in ether This is called Wurtz reaction
`R-CI+2Na+R-CIoverset(ether)rarrRunderset(alkan e)( -R+2NaCI)` .
