Why can't pentane be prepared by wurtz reaction?

Only symmetrical alkenes can be prepared by Wurtz reaction

Dear Nizam Uddin,

Pentane is a hydrocarbon which has an odd number of carbon atoms in it (5 carbon atoms).

Pentane can therefore be prepared by wurtz reaction  of unsymmetrical alkanes !!!

Here is one way u can prepare pentane by wurtz reaction,

                                 CH₃CH₂CH₂Br   +   CH₃CH₂Br  +  2Na     --------> CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃   +  2NaBr

Approve if u liked em'
