Answer» When ethers are treated with strong ACID in the presence of a nucleophile, they can be cleaved to give alcohols and alkyl halides. If the ether is on a primary CARBON this may occur through an S N 2 pathway.Thus Diethyl ether (C 2 H 5 OC 2 H 5 ) when refluxed with Hi gives two molecules as C 2 H 5 I+NaOC 2 H 5 . And in excess of HI, the alkoxide undergoes subtitution reaction and gives alkyl halide as C 2 H 5 IThus (i)=C 2 H 5 I.Ethers can be most commonly prepared by Williamson's synthesis where a reaction of alkyl halide and sodium alkoxide takes place. Therefore (II) and (iii) are alkyl halide and sodium alkoxide. The method is called Williamson's synthesis=(iv)(i), (ii),(iii) and (iv) respectively are C 2 H 5 I, alkyl halide, sodium alkoxide and Williamson's synthesis, respectively.Explanation:please mark me brainlist |
