Wurtz-Fittig's reaction


Mechanism of synthesis of aryl-alkyl compounds by Wurtz-Fittig reaction Wurtz-Fittig reaction, Fittig reaction - variant of Wurtz's reaction allowing the introduction of alkyl substituents into aromatic compounds and the synthesis of symmetric biaryl compounds: where Ar-aryl; R - alkyl Preparation of unsymmetrical aryl alkyl compounds is possible due to differences in the reactivity of the aryl and alkyl halides. The probable two-step mechanism consists of an alkyl halide reaction with metallic sodium and subsequent aromatic electrophilic substitution. The reaction was described by German chemist Rudolph Fittig in the second half of the 19th century.
