AP EAMCET2005ChemistryAlcohols Phenols and Ethers
In which of the following reactions the product is an ether?
Options
- AC ₆ H ₆+ CH ₃ COCl / anhydrous AlCl ₃
- BC ₂ H ₅ Cl + aq . KOH
- CC ₆ H ₆+ C ₆ H ₅ COCl / anhydrous AlCl ₃
- DC ₂ H ₅ Cl + C ₂ H ₅ ONa
Correct answer
D. C ₂ H ₅ Cl + C ₂ H ₅ ONa
Step-by-step solution
Alkyl halides react with sodium alkoxide to give ether. This is called Williamson's synthesis of ether. C ₂ H ₅ Cl + C ₂ H ₅ ONa C ₂ H ₅ OC ₂ H ₅+ NaCl
