Solution
Wurtz reaction: Alkyl halide when heated with metallic sodium and zinc powder in ether gives alkane by joining two alkyl groups. 2RX+2NaetherR.R+2NaX Williamson synthesis: It is the laboratory preparation of ether. Sod.alkoxideRONa+AlkylXRΔEtherROR+NaX Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction: α− chloro or α− bromo acids are usually prepared by first converting the acid into its chloride and bromide and then carrying out chlorination or bromination. Thus is called HV Z reaction. So, is for α− halogenation. AddRCH2COOHP + Br2AcidbromideRCH2CO.Br
Aldol condensation: When aldehydes and ketones having α− hydogen atoms are treated with alkali they undergo self-addition between two molecules to form a β− hydroxy aldehyde or ketone (known as aldol). This addition is usually followed by elimination of a water molecule resulting in overall condensation reaction. CH3CHO+CH3CHOOH−β−hydroxybutyraldehyde (Aldol)CH3−OH∣CH−CH2CHO Molasses: Ethyl alcohol is obtained from molasses. It is obtained as a byproduct of sugarindustry.
