Wurtz-FittigAryl-AlkylCoupling

Solution

Correct Answer:

Aryl-alkyl compounds

The Wurtz-Fittig Reaction is an extension of the Wurtz reaction, used to couple an aryl halide with an alkyl halide.

  • General Reaction:
  • Example: Treating Bromobenzene and Methyl bromide with Sodium gives Toluene (an aryl-alkyl compound).
  • Compare:
  • Wurtz Reaction: (alkane)
  • Fittig Reaction: (biphenyl)
