How is ethyl iso-propyl ether prepared ?

Answer»

SOLUTION : Sodium ISOPROPOXIDE on treating with ethyl HALIDE gives ethyl iso-propyl ether.

Alkyl halide is to be primary because with other alkyl halides, alkenes are FORMED. If ethoxide and isopropyl halide are taken, elimination takes place and `CH_3-CH = CH_2`is formed.
