In organic chemistry, the Wurtz reaction, named after Charles Adolphe Wurtz, is a coupling reaction in which two alkyl halides are treated with sodium metal to form a higher alkane.
: 2 R-X + 2 Na -> R-R + 2 NaXThe reaction is of little value because yields are low. Exceptions are some intramolecular versions, such as 1,2-dibromohexane
