Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reaction of a mixture of alkyl halides with sodium metal in the presence of dry ether is known as the Wurtz reaction. When a mixture of methyl bromide $(CH_3Br)$ and ethyl bromide $(C_2H_5Br)$ is treated with sodium metal,the following coupling reactions occur: $1$. $CH_3Br + 2Na + BrCH_3 \rightarrow CH_3-CH_3$ $(Ethane)$ $2$. $C_2H_5Br + 2Na + BrC_2H_5 \rightarrow C_2H_5-C_2H_5$ $(n-Butane)$ $3$. $CH_3Br + 2Na + BrC_2H_5 \rightarrow CH_3-C_2H_5$ $(Propane)$ Since $Pentane$ $(C_5H_{12})$ cannot be formed from the coupling of methyl $(C_1)$ and ethyl $(C_2)$ radicals,it is not obtained in the product mixture.

Which of the following is $NOT$ obtained when a mixture of methyl bromide and ethyl bromide is treated with sodium metal in the presence of dry ether?
