wurtz synthesis: 2CH3Cl + 2Na = CH3-CH3 + 2NaCl
Grignard Synthesis:
- Preparation of Grignard reagent: CH3Cl + Mg = CH3MgCl
- Hydrolysis of Grignard reagent: CH3MgCl + HCl = CH3-H + MgCl2

∙ 9y agoThe equation for the preparation of alkanes by Grignard synthesis is as follows: R-X + Mg ---> RMgX. The reaction proceeds through single electron transfer.

this reaction is done in reflux.
