Describe the reactions of aryl halides with metals.

(N/A) The reactions of aryl halides with metals are categorized into three main types: $(a)$ Wurtz-Fittig reaction,$(b)$ Fittig reaction,and $(c)$ Grignard reaction.
$(a)$ Wurtz-Fittig reaction: When a mixture of an alkyl halide and an aryl halide is treated with sodium metal in dry ether,an alkylarene is formed. This is known as the Wurtz-Fittig reaction.
$(b)$ Fittig reaction: Aryl halides react with sodium metal in dry ether to give analogous compounds where two aryl groups are joined together. This is known as the Fittig reaction.
$(c)$ Grignard reaction: Aryl halides react with magnesium metal in the presence of dry ether to form aryl magnesium halides,which are known as Grignard reagents.
