Write the general equation of Williamson's ether synthesis |
|
Answer» Solution :ALKYL halides on heating with sodium alkoxide ethers are obtained. In this method both SYMMETRICAL and unsymmetrical ether can be PREPARED. `"General Reaction :"underset("Alkyl halide")(R-X)+underset("Sodium alkoxide")(R-O-Na)rarr underset("Ether")(R-O-R)+NaX` `"EXAMPLE :"underset("Chloroethane")(C_(2)H_(5)-Cl)+underset("Sodium ethoxide")(C_(2)H_(5)-O-Na)rarr underset("Ethoxyethane")(C_(2)H_(5)-O-C_(2)H_(5))+NaCl` |
