Question

Product attained on reaction with sodium ethoxide and tert butylchloride:

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Willliamson Ether Reactions involve an alkoxide that reacts with a primary haloalkane to produce ether. Alkoxides consist of the conjugate base of an alcohol and are comprised of an R group bonded to an oxygen atom. They are often written as $R{O}^{–}$, where R is the organic substituent.$3^o$ alkyl halide react with sodium methoxide and gives alkene not ether because reaction will be elimination not substitution due to presence of strong base sodium methoxide ion $\left(C{H}_3{O}^{-}N{a}^{+}\right).$
