Which of the following compounds cannot be prepared singly by the Wurtz reaction?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

{\left( {\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)_2}\mathrm{CHC}{\mathrm{H}_3}

Option B (

{\left( {\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)_2}\mathrm{CHC}{\mathrm{H}_3}

) is correct because Wurtz reaction can produce symmetrical alkanes in good yield, but unsymmetrical alkanes are difficult to prepare singly due to side products.
