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_2H_5Cl+Mg overset("dry ether")(rarr)`

B

`C_2H_5Cl+LiAlH_4 rarr`

C

`C_2H_5Cl+C_2H_5ONa rarr`

D

`CHCl_3 overset("Ag powder")underset(Delta)(rarr)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Wurtz reaction gives ethane
`2CH_3I+2Na overset(dry)underset(ether)(rarr)C_2H_6+2Nal`
Similarly `C_2H_5Cl` reduced by `LiAlH_4` to give ethane
`C_2H_5Cl +2H overset(LiAlH_4)(rarr)C_2H_6+HCl`
