Formation of alkane by the action of Zn ...

Formation of alkane by the action of Zn on alkyl halide is called-

A

Wurtz reaction

B

Kolbe's reaction

C

Ulmann's reaction

D

Frankland reaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) (a) Wurtz reaction
`2RX+2Naoverset("Ether")rarr underset("Alkane")(R-R)+2NaX`
(b) Kolbe's reaction
`RCOONa+H_(2)O overset("Electrolysis")rarr underset("Alkane")(R-R)`
(c) Ulmann's reaction
`underset("Phenyl iodide")(2C_(6)H_(5)I)+2Cu rarr underset("Biphenyl")(C_(6)H_(5)-C_(6)H_(5))+2CuI`
(d) Frankland reaction
`underset("Alkyl halide")(2RX)+Zn rarr underset("Alkane")(R-R) +ZnX_(2)`
Thus, the required reaction is Frankland reaction.
