Question

Alkanes having odd carbons cannot be prepared in?

A) Wurtz reaction
B) Frankland reaction
C) Kolbe's electrolysis
D) Sabatier-sendersen reaction

• A. B,C&D
• B. A, B & D
• C. A, C & D
• D. A, B & C

Answer 1

The correct option is D A, B & C

Alkanes having an odd number of carbon atoms cannot be prepared in Wurtz reaction, Frankland reaction and Kolbe's electrolysis because the product obtained in these reactions contain twice the carbon atoms than that in parent chain but can be prepared in Sabatier-Sendersen reaction.

Hence the correct option is D.
