Ethyl chloride reacts with sodium ethoxide to form a compound A . Which of the following reactions also yields A ?
Options
- AC ₂ H ₅ Cl , KOH (alc. ),
- B2 C ₂ H ₅ OH , conc. H ₂ SO ₄, 140^ C
- CC ₂ H ₅ Cl , Mg (dry ether)
- DC ₂ H ₂ dil H ₂ SO ₄, HgSO ₄
Correct answer
B. 2 C ₂ H ₅ OH , conc. H ₂ SO ₄, 140^ C
Step-by-step solution
Ethyl chloride reacts with sodium ethoxide to form diethyl ether as Diethyl ether is also obtained by reaction of ethyl alcohol with conc. H ₂ SO ₄ at 140^ C .
