Complete the following reaction:
2CH3I+2Na→?+2NaI
C2H6
Above reaction is an example of Wurtz reaction. The two molecules of alkyl halide reacts with two sodium ions in the presence of ether solution to give higher order alkanes which is symmetric in nature. The reaction will take place as follows:
2CH3I+2NaDiethylether→C2H6+2NaI
