How many of the given reaction will form tert-Butyl ethyl ether? I) tert - Butanol + Ethanol overset(H^(+)) to (II) tert-Butyl bromide + Sodium ethoxide to (III)Sodium tot-butoxide + Ethyl bromide to (iv)Isobutene + Ethanol overset(H^(+)) to

Answer»


Solution :`(CH_(3))_(3)CBr + NaOC_(2)H_(5)` can’t be applied for synthesising the ether because sod. ETHOXIDE, being a strong base, will PREFERENTIALLY cause elimination reaction.
`(CH_(3))_(3)CBr overset(""^(-)OC_(2)H_(5))to (CH_(3))_(2)C = CH_(2) + HBr`
Rest other forms tert-Butyl ethyl ether.
