Wurtz reaction of methyl iodide yields a...

Wurtz reaction of methyl iodide yields an organic compound `X` Which one of the following reactions also yields `X` .

A

`C_(2)H_(5)CI +Mg overset("dryether")rarr`

B

`C_(2)H_(5)Cl+LiAlH_(4)to`

C

`C_(2)H_(5)CI+C_(2)H_(5)ONa rarr`

D

`CHCI_(3)underset(Delta)overset("Ag powder")rarr`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Wurtz reaction gives ethane
`2CH_(3)I+2Na underset(ether)overset(dry)rarrC_(2)H_(6)+2NaI`
Similarly `C_(2)H_(6)CI` reduced by `LiAIH_(4)` give ethane
`C_(2)H_(5)CI+2H overset(LiAHI_(4))rarrC_(2)H_(6)+HCI` .
