Allanite wanted to prepare (R) 2-Methoxy butane using Williamson ether synthesis. He remembered that Williamson synthesis involves a

S_{N} 2

displacement, which takes place with inversion of configuration. He ordered a bottle of (S) 2-Butanol for his chiral starting material. He also remembered that the

S_{N} 2

goes best on primary halides so he made methyl halide and sodium (S) 2-butoxide after warming these reagents together he obtained an excellent yield of 2-Methoxy butane.
