Question:medium

'X' is the isomer of $\text{C}_6\text{H}_{14}$. It has four primary carbons and two tertiary carbons. 'X' can be prepared from which of the following reaction?

Show Hint

The Wurtz reaction ($2\text{R-X} + 2\text{Na} \to \text{R-R} + 2\text{NaX}$) is a powerful method for making symmetrical alkanes by coupling two alkyl halide molecules. To identify the reactant, mentally cleave the target symmetrical alkane at the middle bond.

  • $\text{Reaction with } \text{Ni}/\Delta \text{ and } \text{H}_2$ (Hydrogenation)
  • $\text{Reaction of a halide with } \text{Na}/\text{dry ether}$ (Wurtz Reaction)
  • $\text{Reaction of a halide with } \text{Zn}/\text{H}^+$ (Reduction)
  • $\text{Reaction of a halide with } \text{Na}/\text{dry ether}$ (Wurtz Reaction)
