Organic: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Question:

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.

Many halogen containing organic compounds are present in nature and some of them are clinically useful. These classes of organic compounds find a wide range of applications in our daily life as well as in industries. Many of the polyhalogen compounds are useful too in agriculture. However, some of these compounds cannot be easily decomposed and are thus considered to be environmental hazards. These halo compounds are prepared via different synthetic routes where a variety of organic compounds can be used as substrates such as amines, hydrocarbons etc. They are used as solvents for relatively non-polar compounds. These compounds exhibit substitution and elimination reactions, in addition to their reactions with different metals, which leads to the formation of a versatile starting material for others organic compounds.

The reaction of aryl halide with sodium and dry ether is known as

Options:

Fittig Reaction

Wurtz-Fittig reaction

Wurtz reaction

Sandmeyer's reaction

Correct Answer:

Fittig Reaction

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Fittig Reaction

Aryl halides also give analogous compounds when treated with sodium in dry ether, in which two aryl groups are joined together. It is called Fittig reaction.
