Which of the correct option for the following reaction? $$ 2 \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br} \xrightarrow{2 \mathrm{Na} / \text { Dryether }} \text { ? } $$
  1. Wurtz reaction; $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$
  2. Wurtz-Fittig reaction; $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$
  3. Wurtz reaction; $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$
  4. Wurtz-Fittig reaction; $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$

Solution

$ \begin{aligned} & 2 \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{Br} \xrightarrow{2 \mathrm{Na} / \text { dry ether }} \\ & \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3+2 \mathrm{NaBr} \\ & \end{aligned} $ This reaction is known as wurtz reaction
