What will happen if two different alkyl halides are taken in wurtz reaction ?

Dear Student,

If two different alkyl halides are taken in Wurtz reaction then a mixture of products will be formed. For eg. 

${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{Br} + {\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{Br} \underset{\mathrm{dry} \mathrm{ether}}{\overset{\mathrm{Na}}{\to }} {\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_3 + {\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_3 + 2{\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_3$

Regards,
