Which one of the following reaction can give asymmetrical alkane?
Wurtz reaction
Kolbe's synthesis
Corey House Synthesis
Both 2 & 3
Corey House Synthesis:-
When Gilman's reagent reacts with a primary alkyl halide, it gives a higher asymmetrical alkane by SN2 mechanism.
Kolbe Reaction:- This method is applicable for the preparation of only symmetrical alkanes of the type R-R.
Wurtz's reaction is limited to the synthesis of symmetrical alkanes.
Therefore, option (3) is correct.
