Vedclass · Answer

(C) Methyl bromide $(CH_3-Br)$ can be reduced to methane $(CH_4)$ using a reducing agent like $Zn/HCl$ or $LiAlH_4$ in one step.Methyl bromide $(CH_3-Br)$ can be converted to ethane $(CH_3-CH_3)$ using the $Wurtz$ reaction $(2CH_3-Br + 2Na \xrightarrow{dry \ ether} CH_3-CH_3 + 2NaBr)$ in one step.Therefore,$CH_3-Br$ is the suitable reactant.

Which of the following reactants is suitable for the preparation of methane and ethane by using one step only?
