The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reaction of C₆H₅Cl with CH₃Cl in the presence of sodium in dry ether, we can analyze the reaction step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: The reactants in the given reaction are C₆H₅Cl (chlorobenzene) and CH₃Cl (methyl chloride). 2. **Understand the Role of Sodium (Na)**: Sodium acts as a reducing agent in this reaction. In the presence of dry ether, sodium can donate electrons to the halides, leading to the formation of radicals. 3. **Formation of Radicals**: - The sodium reacts with C₆H₅Cl to form a phenyl radical (C₆H₅•) and sodium chloride (NaCl). - Similarly, sodium reacts with CH₃Cl to form a methyl radical (CH₃•) and sodium chloride (NaCl). 4. **Radical Coupling**: The phenyl radical (C₆H₅•) and the methyl radical (CH₃•) can then couple together to form the product C₆H₅CH₃ (toluene). 5. **Overall Reaction**: The overall reaction can be summarized as: \[ C₆H₅Cl + CH₃Cl \xrightarrow{Na/\text{dry ether}} C₆H₅CH₃ + 2NaCl \] 6. **Identify the Type of Reaction**: This reaction is an example of a Wurtz-Fittig reaction, which involves the coupling of aryl and alkyl halides in the presence of sodium. ### Conclusion: The reaction is an example of a **Wurtz-Fittig reaction**. ---
