Vedclass · Answer

(C) In the $Wurtz$ reaction,a mixture of two different alkyl halides gives a mixture of alkanes.Bromomethane $(CH_3Br)$ and bromoethane $(CH_3CH_2Br)$ react with sodium in dry ether to form ethane $(CH_3CH_3)$,propane $(CH_3CH_2CH_3)$,and butane $(CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3)$.Methane $(CH_4)$ is not formed in this reaction because the $Wurtz$ reaction involves the coupling of two alkyl groups to form a higher alkane.

Which of the following is $NOT$ obtained when a mixture of bromomethane and bromoethane is treated with sodium in dry ether?
