Question

A tertiary halide $\left(R_{3}CCl\right)$ usually fail to undergo coupling reaction on heating in ethereal solution of Na metal to produce $R_{3}C-C{R}_3$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Answer: True

Given reaction: Wurtz reaction

This reaction is not suitable for tertiary alkyl halides due to side reaction involving elimination reaction as steric-hinderance.
