KCET2020ChemistryAlcohols Phenols and Ethers
Which of the following on heating gives an ether as major products? (P) C ₆ H ₅ CH ₂ Br + CH ₃ ONa (Q) C ₆ H ₅ ONa + CH ₃ Br (R) ( CH ₃ )₃ C - Cl + CH ₃ ONa (S) C ₆ H ₅ CH = CHCl + CH ₃ ONa
Options
- ABoth (R) and (S)
- BBoth (P) and (R)
- CBoth (Q) and (S)
- DBoth (P) and (Q)
Correct answer
D. Both (P) and (Q)
Step-by-step solution
Here, P and Q both on heating will produce ether as major product. Here, aryl halide and sodium alkanide cannot be used for preparing phenolic ethers because of very less reactivity of aryl halides.
