Q.
Ethyl chloride is converted into diethyl ether by
AMUAMU 2005
Solution:
Williamson's synthesis This reaction is used to prepare both symmetrical and unsymmetrical ethers by treating alkyl halide with sodium alkoxide or sodium phenoxide.
$\underset{\text{ethyl chloride}}{C_2H_5Cl } + \underset{\text{sodium ethoxide}}{C_2H_5ONa} \to \underset{\text{diethyl ether}}{C_2H_5OC_2H_5} + NaCl$
Perkins reaction Benzaldehyde on heating with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate and the hydrolysis of product obtained gives $\alpha, \beta$ unsaturated acid, cinnamic acid.
Wurtz reaction Alkyl halide react with sodium in the presence of dry ether to form alkanes.
$CH_3CH_2Cl + 2Na + ClCH_2CH_3$
$\xrightarrow{\text{Dry ether}} \underset{\text{butane}}{CH_3CH_2 \cdot CH_2CH_3} + 2NaCl$
Wurtz-Fittig reaction Haloalkanes react with haloarenes in the presence of sodium and anhydrous ether to form alkyl benzene.
