Chemistry · Aromatic hydrocarbons: Nomenclature, benzene - structure and aromaticity, mechanism of electrophilic substitution, halogenation, nitration
In the given reaction is:
\( \mathbf{2} C_{6} \boldsymbol{H}_{5} \boldsymbol{C l}+\mathbf{2} \boldsymbol{N} \boldsymbol{a} \rightarrow \boldsymbol{X} \) In the given reaction \( \boldsymbol{X} \) is:
- A. toulene
- B. biphenyl
- C. phenyl ethane
- D. 1-chloro-2-phenyl ethane
Step-by-step solution
The reaction is a Wurtz-Fittig reaction where two molecules of chlorobenzene (C6H5Cl) react with sodium metal in dry ether to form biphenyl (C6H5-C6H5) and sodium chloride. Thus, X is biphenyl.
