Which method is preferred for the preparation of `n-`propyl chloride from benzene ?

A

B

C

Both are undesirable

D

Both give similar result

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Wurtz`-` Fitting method is preferred since in this case, no rearranged product is formed. As far as other products, viz. `n-`hexane and biphenyl is concerned, these can be easily removed from `n-`propyl benzene by distillation since their boiling points differ very much form each other.
