Question

Which one of the following methods is neither meant for the synthesis nor for the separation of amines?

• A. Curtius reaction
• B. Wurtz reaction
• C. Hofmann method
• D. Hinsberg method

Answer 1

The correct option is B Wurtz reaction

Wurtz reaction is used to prepare alkanes from alkyl halides.
$2R-X+2Na\underset{}{\overset{Dryether}{\to }}\underset{alkane}{R-R}+2NaX$

Where $R$ is an alkane

$X$ is a halide

All other process are used for preparation for amines.
