Reactions in which Number of Carbon Atoms Increases…

Reactions in which number of carbon atoms increases are called carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. These reactions involve the joining of two or more carbon atoms to form longer chains or more complex structures.
Some examples of carbon-carbon bond forming reactions include:
(i) Wurtz reaction
(ii) Frankland reaction
(iii) Corey house synthesis
(iv) Kolbe’s electrolytic method.
