Wurtz reaction involves the reduction of alkyl halide with

  • A
    $\mathrm{Zn} / \mathrm{HCl}$
  • B
    HI
  • C
    Zn/Cu Couple
  • Correct answer
    D
    Na in ether

Solution

Wurtz reaction involves the reduction of alkyl halide with Na in ether. $R X+2 \mathrm{Na}+X R \xrightarrow{\text { Dry ether }} R-R+2 \mathrm{NaX}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
