Question

Which of the following reaction is the best choice for preparing methyl cyclohexyl ether?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Williamson Ether Synthesis usually takes place as an $S_{N}2$ reaction of a primary alkyl halide with an alkoxide ion.
Strong anionic nucleophile and $1^{\circ }$ alkyl halide favours $S_{N}2$ mechanism. option (a) is the best choice for preparing methyl cyclohexyl ether.
