How would you synthesize styrene by using Wurtz reaction ?Discuss the mechanism of the reaction.

Question

Arun · Answer

In my opinion styrene cannot be prepared by wurtz reaction becausewurtz reaction is the process by which alkyl halide gets converted into straight chain alkane by 2 moles of sodium in dry ether. Styrene is an alkene. And alkenes are never prepared by wurtz reaction.

prince sunjot dutt · Answer

This can be done by wurtz-fittig reaction​ : using chlorobenzene and chloroethene using 2 moles of sodium metal in presence of dry ether.
